Just quickly, as it's OT for this bug really, we aren't using that as we are using ancient versions of things (the Ubuntu environemnt we're running in is Lucid with some backported OCaml packages). I'll be updating to a more modern system soon and we'll get dose with that. Not sure if ben already passes --latest in its current codebase but if not it should be easy enough to add in the mean time, before Stéphane's refactorings.
