Right now lots of users try VE with MW 1.21.x and are confused as to why they get nothing.
Is MW >= 1.22 a requirement? If so we can check wgVersion and throw an exception
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor says yes. I'm not familiar with how extensions usually check for MW version compatibility. Obviously we could do it in the client and throw a JS exception, but there may a preferred way in PHP?
Digging around I assume wfUseMW( '1.22alpha' )?
