Comment (by igloo):

 We abandoned 5.04 support recently as the differences in its hierarchical
 libraries compared to 6.x were causing too much pain. I think any 6.x is
 supposed to still work, though.

 Bindists are the simplest way of getting older versions, but you might
 have problems due to them being compiled against older libraries. If it
 proves tricky then just keeping an eye on the nightly builds is the way to
 go.
