Can you guys explain why this is -- why we need to depend on a specific version? Didn't David just say the API is backwards compatible (or at least has been historically)?

I'm fine with bundling whole leveldb as well, it's a lot better than breaking on dependency updates. But I also know distributors would be happiest if we can use the libraries they provide.
