It apparently does, as far as the tests are concerned; no new red dots
appeared after its introduction.

There is now a stable export and it seems to work, but I haven't added
it on the farm machines yet, because I'm going away for three days and
don't want to leave the builers unattended with a new build. The first
stable build run should occur on thursday evening (GMT), or as soon
after that the machines get around to it.

Hope this isn't to late for anyone.

I'm going to use this time to think about how to test modules with the
newly built interpreters, which is the next big thing.
