I see. Too bad, that's a complication I had hoped was possible to avoid. I revisited the modulation presentation from Oslo, it looks like I need to learn more on how to do create multi-version library packages. I'll try to find time this weekend to see if I get this to work. I'm thinking of creating a mgar/pkg/examples directory and putting there a few minimal examples, similar to minimalsmf.
