It really may have caused some problems recently, but I never knew if I 
just messed things up with configuration or is there something wrong 
with the code, and I still don't know.

Certainly any change to the public interface should be advertised on 
mailing list.

And BTW, I have never understood the use of public data members in the 
library. Some of them seem to be set once and never used in the library 
code. Most of them are undocumented so that programmer can only guess if 
using it at all breaks his code. I had to read through the library 
source code to have our install manager done. That makes me want to stay 
away from the library as much as possible.
