I like that as a solution, especially since the "stable" version does
successfully build (even though it doesn't run properly). However, I'm
not particularly couched in any particular solution, so whatever is
deemed best is what should be done. I was just wondering if it might be
better to use the solution mentioned above, since that seems to be more
"standard practice" with how we do things.
