Can I request that you use a manifest constant for `2', rather than
sprinkling literal `2's everywhere ?  Something like IHDR_VERSION_2 ?
This may seem pointless, but it will mean that it is possible to grep
the code much more easily for things which are relevant to v2 or v3 or
whatever.

(I don't it's necessary to go to any great lengths to substitute the
value of IHDR_VERSION_2 into error messages; a literal 2 in the string
is OK I think.)

Thanks,
Ian.
