My take on this would be to supply a patch for polyglot along with the source code and perhaps a new pre-compiled polyglot with that patch with the installer along with a note in the README or so... The best would be to add those changes upstream, but as I understand it HGM was/is trying to do just that, but for some reason or the other the author of polyglot doesn't want to add them. I also think that releasing a new version number has lots of problems associated with it and is better to be avoided. ARUN
