I guess we can close this "ballot" now after a couple of days and plenty
of responses.

The results were:
 Using 2.1: None
 Using 2.2: 1
 Using 2.3: 11
 Using 2.4: 1

Nobody voiced concerns about dropping 2.1 support.

So, pretty soon now trunk will stop working on Python 2.1. I've got a
couple of changes up my sleeve that use generators and other 2.2 features.

Cheers,
Chris
