   Indeed it is the stock version. I'm a bit reluctant to use an unofficial
   branch, however good it may be.

Ger's version is pretty good; perhaps it's better to consider it a
"fork" oriented more toward Ger's aesthetic preferences and coding
style rather than mine.

The only difference I'm aware of that is substantiative is that the
Ger fork does not implement the "right thing" with respect to
assertions detecting internal errors; an internal error that is
recoverable is specced to cause a FAULT / TRAP execution, and the Ger
assertions don't do that.

Other than that issue, the Ger version has a lot going for it,
including more rigorous compile-time and runtime checking.

Note: the 64 v 32-bit issue is going / gone away; with Nico and Kurt's
help, we now have scrubbed those problems.  We also fixed a couple of
bugs in the process.  :-)

And- a heads-up: we're going ahead with libcrm114 ( callable CRM114
classifiers ) which will be licensed LGPL so people writing
proprietary code can still call libcrm114 and not have to reveal
their proprietary code, just the libcrm114 code they're calling
(and not even reveal _how_ they're calling it, or with what args).
