The change I was thinking of was to have TestUpgradeXversion.pm do that.
If we wanted to modify the back branches themselves to help with this,
what I'd be inclined to do is back-patch the regression test changes,
or some subset thereof, so that the back branches have the same idea
of which functions are in regress.so as HEAD does.

I had not intended to back-patch, since those changes were just cosmetic,
but it might be the best way to preserve the XversionUpgrade tests.
