Config files and commands are line-based so it would be easiest to do
this so you had to prefix the command with a minimum version, eg:

>1.6:setw -g window-status-alert-fg colour228
<1.5:setw -g window-status-activity-fg colour228

Although personally I'm not entirely convinced this happens often enough
and with enough impact for it to be worth it. How many boxes do you use
tmux for long periods and need status bell colours? I have three, all
the others I use it just for long running jobs with a minimal config.
