Yes, I'm afraid Luke's latest changes have broken the HEAD
branch quite a bit. Unfortunately I have logged the problems
and sent them to him but he added so much new code (and re-arranged
so much) that with preparing for the 2.0 release I haven't had time
to go through and understand what he broke (although I fixed the
gross compile errors).

I wish he hadn't added a new load of code just before going 
off to a conference, that was not best way to keep the code
stable.

Let me know if it's unbearable and I'll revert his change
and he'll have to re-add it when he gets back and has
some time to clean up the mess himself :-).

Jeremy.
