I admit if it would be contained upstream and thus we have the good
feeling that it is supposed to work with latest mcl this would be
helpful.  There is no need to hurry, thought, since we solved the
issue with a copy of the old version.

I admit we have way more severe problems with loosing the OCaml patch
we included in version 14.  This has three reverse depends we lost
now and since we have nobody with knowledge in OCaml we have no idea
how to solve this.
