Debian stable (just released) ships with 1.6, which means even up-to-date servers don't necessarily ship with a current tmux version.

It's not practical to maintain current versions of the required software tools in the home directory. I did that for many years, but when the number of remote machines grew I gave up on keeping the software up-to-date when I don't have admin rights. Instead I tried to make the config files as portable as possible. Thanks for your quick response and the if-shell trick.
