Remy and Bart, what was that patch supposed to fix? The description is
too vague for me to understand what it was trying to do.

I guess at the time you built your patch, we were still using shared libs
with the wrapper, but now the default is to use static libs with no
wrapper (although we can still use shared libs if the user wants it,
but it is going away ASAP).

I'm reverting that for now. If you still need to fix your issue, I'm ready
to add a better patch, but really I don't see what it's trying to fix.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
