Since 2^31 nodes will make older versions of some software unusable
and 2^32 nodes will make other versions unusable it would be helpful
to have a wiki page to record this information.  I think that most
useful would be a table of the minimum version of each piece of
software to support true 32-bit (> 2^31) and 64-bit node numbers.
