I'm not sure this is the right way to go about this. buildhistory typically
wouldn't  be enabled via USER_CLASSES by the end user (since it's not 
the way we recommend in the manual, although there's no reason why it 
shouldn't work.) Assuming it's the "version going backwards" check that
is the problem, I'd suggest disabling the QA check instead like this:

ERROR_QA_remove = "version-going-backwards"

Cheers,
Paul
