Jon, you're correct. The older ones will go pretty close to 90 degrees. Check out my website and look at my civvy door installation. IIRC, there's a pic of the door hinge difference. It was changed when they added power windows. The old style hinge doesn't seem to have enough room for all the wires to get past it.
Here's a direct link:

Scroll down and you'll see the two hinges opened up side by side.

Also, it helps to have a second person when hanging a door. Not required, but it makes life easier, and isn't that what it's all about?
