OK, don't worry because this is not urgent, at least I have the old mechanism working on Linux (on any Linux, I suppose). This definitely can wait. I haven't build 4.0.8 yet, so I cannot tell if it builds, but certainly this problem didn't prevent it from building in the past, so no reason for failing exist now, neither. > It's certainly a possibility for 4.1.
