Nope, it was my fault in this case for sure. I just overflew your
message and misunderstood "The Sage interface to the library functions
for mwrank (etc) will need to be adapted to handle this." to mean
"adapted to use the extra functionality" implying "every that used to
work will keep working". I guess you need to be more direct as in
"Caution: this *breaks* the interface". Then there wouldn't be a doubt
in my mind that something needs to be fixed first ;)

I send you the details off-list, but I can reproduce the failure I
observed with your unchanged eclib-20071231.spkg.

Well, by compiling the old cremona.spkg everything is back to normal
and works again.
