heres that patch again, in 2 pieces. 1. bzipped changes New -> Newx, New? -> Newx?also includes macros for old x-less New, so that XS code continues to work wo src changes.
Theres XS out there that doesnt package ppport.h 2. patch to API pod in handy.h docs the x-less version, adds 3 lines explaining the x-version. I dont much care whether the 3 lines survive peer-review, it looks like I can just truncate the patch and it will still apply.
