Thanks for your attention! Yes, I should have initiated transition.
Guess, I will do this in the future. There are not so much packages
depending on swi-prolog, just logol and eye. Only these packages require
rebuilding with a major upgrade of swi-prolog. Anyway, transitions are
preferable way, I agree.

Cheers!
