The most recent modification inside the 1.21 tarball is from 2004-04-05, and the
last code modification from 2003-12-08 so it's not quite that old.  The newest
modification in the 3.x series is compilation fixes for gcc 3.4.x, no other
changes in 3.1 vs 3.0 according to the release notes.  3.0 was released 2004-06-22.

Additionally, the original 1.x author was very responsive to my mails, whereas
the sourceforge tracker for 3.x does not look too promising regarding upstream
activity (not a single comment to any open item in almost 3 years):

Sorry, as said, I don't have more details about this handy any more.  Will send
if I remember more details or come across them again.

> Can we proceed with the review using the 3.x version?

Your call, but before that I do suggest taking a closer look at the 3.x
upstream's activity as well as comparing 1.x functionality to 3.x (unless you
already did and I just failed to parse it from your earlier comments).  Also,
it'd be better to find someone who actually uses jlint/antic nowadays to do the
review, but I can chime in later if nobody shows up.
