If we change the header size, then this would be fine. At the moment, I
don't think that anybody is suggesting a change to the .pyc header format
because of the number of tool breakages that would ensue.

People have seemed interested in my idea to update the marshal format to
record a version number -- it doesn't require a change to the .pyc header.

Cheers,
