Good work!  I submitted a similar patch also. 

For your patch I have one critique: the version sensitive code is 
scattered all through describe.c.  Are there opportunities to apply some 
tests at a higher level (reducing the number of tests), or gather the 
tests into an easily maintainable chunk?

The cleaner it is, the more likely future patchers will continue to 
maintain compatibility.
