Note that Peter made some further tests and found out that the merged build 
does not fix the crash, but only hides it:

I would put them at the same location as the official ones, but put 
something like unofficial or experimental in the file name, and explain in a 
README file that it is onls for curious people or those who have some 
problems with the other versions.

I did not really follow the separator discussions, but the argument Enrico 
made that the current behaviour would be partly reverted is a very strong 
one in favour of the patch. It would be really nice if someone more familiar 
with this stuff could give a +1.
