Ming has a long history but very few releases.
Even latest ubuntu is still only providing 0.3a (0.4 never exited the beta 
loop).
As soon as next stable release of Ming is out I think we can drop support
for older. Don't bother fixing it to be 100% correct, it's enough to have it 
available to run *some* tests. Developers (and build bots) should know it's 
better
to have latest and greatest to run more tests.
