Hi everyone,

I just wanted to post some updates.

First, updates on old changes:

This has now been merged in.

I don't think there has been any reply to this. It was quite easy to
reproduce on Debian, so I suppose my assumption that this is fixed is
correct. Thoughts?

Thinking more about these failures, they seem to be specific to those
tester setups so there should not be anything to worry about.

And now an update on new changes:

- Ed has been working more on the alienhdf4 branch work with Alien::HDF4.
  
  This currently is not based on Alien::Base, but I have a branch on the
  Alien-HDF4 repository that is a WIP to getting Alien::Base support
  working. I just need some help navigating the system versus shared
  install mechanism.

Cheers,
- Zaki Mughal
