Thank you!  I really appreciate that. :-)

In this case, I had a specific way of solving this issue in mind which 
would not make the (already kind of confusing) code more complicated, so I 
patched it myself.  But there is another thing where you could help:

Would you mind finding out versions of the build dependencies are actually
necessary?

I don't expect you to hunt down every API change in every tool and library 
used (that would be a tremendous effort); simply knowing that version X.Y 
compiles successfully and doesn't show any obvious problems when running 
would already be very helpful.
