There were a few things that were in my mind, primarily around writing
portable code:

* Detect the presence of the 10 bit version in a configure.ac (the
version number won't tell you this)

* Retrieve the location to dlopen() from (will every distro put it in
the same place?)

Anyway - maybe I'm getting ahead of myself and simply having the 10 bit
version available is good enough. I'm very happy that it now builds in
the official package.

Regards,
Jon.
