As I understand it the reason they have forced you to use the #version
directive is exactly because it is a patched version of the program.
Many people are using this patch now instead of the official version
of the program. These same people using the patch are also sharing
their source files with other people. The problem occurs whem people
who are not using the patch try to use the "special" features of the
patch in the official version but they do not work. So by forcing
the #version directive anyone who attempts to use it will be able
to identify why the "special" features are not working in the official
version of the program.
