ben I thought there was still a flag to build with the old-style functions?
I think that was finally taken away when someone invented the trick to

Well, that actually depends on what the real issue is. I mean, this

Thanks for the suggestions. Right now it doesn't quite work the way it
was intended. I don't have much time at the moment, but if nobody else
does it, I'll try to fix it for beta2.
Thanks.
