If you read the ReadMe file which comes with the referenced Zip, then you
get a slightly different version of what is going on.

According to the file, the Zip actually contains a copy of the last
PPC-compatible version which has then been hacked to report a later version
number as required for the Facebook test.

I think the assumption here is that while sites may look for a later
version, they really only use features from the older version.
