This is more or less what I've been doing up to now. Yet, the CVS version, is still tempting, in some respects. I'm am considering running a double installation setup with the official distro in /usr/bin and /usr/lib and the cvs in /opt/bin and /opt/lib. I could then test my code againsta the CVS snapshot by simply using a pinch of makefile magic. The bottom line is that I don't like to work-arounds in my code. I'd like my code to be as obvious and idiomatic as possible.
