Dammit, sorry Julien, I'd forgotten about that issue - I'm not using the
libosrm bindings directly, so this change slipped my mind.

If someone has time to fix the interface, we can release 5.24.0 to address
it, and mark 5.23.0 as a dud.  The interface change clearly breaks semver
rules as it's not backward compatible.  The alternative would be to release
OSRM 6.0.0, but this feels like much too small a change to justify doing
that.

While I managed to find time to work through the release process, I do not
have time to do any significant refactoring work :-/
