Of course, you realize Michel that we are going through a major ABI
change in our libs as well, in HEAD :-) Joerg is almost finished with it.
struct stat has changed and struct dirent is about to (to make inode
numbers 64 bits).
However, I will say that that is the last major user-visible ABI
change I expect we will be making for a while. I've been wanting to
fix the inode width for a long time, years in fact, but finding a good
time to do it has been a chore.
As you can see by the dicussions, the big thing now is what kind of
packaging system we should adopt or build.
