I think Larry gave it a try.

If it is Proof General 3.x there is no point to work on workarounds for 4.x.  On the other hand, "fixing" things for 4.x might also break 3.x and I am testing none of that again.

Larry seemed to favor 4.2 (according to the principle that new software is better than old software), whereas my vote goes to 4.1. If Larry wants to go into the trouble of compiling and packing 4.2, I of course won't object.

If we agree that Isabelle/PG is nearing the end of its life, I wouldn't worry too much about things that never worked in it.
