Easy: 1.6, 1.6.1, 1.6.2, and so on, are all between 1.5ZC and 1.6A,
as far as principle interface changes go. Look at the explanation for
__NetBSD_Version__ in /usr/include/sys/param.h (and realize that a lot
of software tests if __NetBSD_Version__ >= NNNNNNNNN before trying to
use some new feature such as "utmpx", for example).
