Nope. It is still experimental. But it doesn't seem to have any
detrimental effect when you aren't using it, so why not include it?

Hmm... I was getting problems with symbols in the Makefiles being
redefined. I didn't think it was related to UseInstalled, but that is a

Right, but I am being very pragmatic here. In the past it has been
difficult to submit, and get Alan to commit, dual patches for both head

patches to it seem to go to lala land. So my point is pretty much:
January 17 for fewer headaches. :)
