this would work:
 switch (version) {
   0x00020200: upgrade_2_2_X(pj, fds);
      break;
   default:  upgrade_2_1_X(pj, fds);
 }
 return;

there is no version 00020100 - there was no version number in the ji_qs
struct at that point.

upgrade_2_1_X upgrades anything from 2.1.X and earlier (I chose version
numbers that couldn't match the first int in the old ji_qs struct without a
version) to the new 00020300 version.

upgrade_2_2_X goes from 00020200 to 00020300

you don't need to call both upgrade funcs
