Is it possible that there are added features in 3.3.3 automatically that 
aren't available in 3.0.34? Maybe i can switch them off? I compared the 
configure scripts of both versions but did not see great differences.
I can't understand what blows up the code so much, was there a great 
change in the code base of 3.2.x and 3.3.x?
