Thanks for the updated patch.

Comments:

You didn't address any of my suggestions concerning the documentation,
except that you moved the entry in "System Views" to the correct place.

The second patch contains:

But that belongs into the third patch.

+/*

+ * reports if it's not available.
+ */
+const char *
+jit_get_version(bool *available)
+{
+   const char *version;
+
+   if (!provider_init())
+   {
+       *available = false;
+       return "";
+   }
+
+   version = provider.get_version();
+
+   if (version == NULL)
+   {
+       *available = false;
+       return "";
+   }
+
+   *available = true;
+   return version;
+}

Perhaps more elegant would be:

    if (provider_init())
    {
        version = provider.get_version();
        if (version)
        {
            *available = true;
            return version;
        }
    }

    *available = false;
    return "";

Other than that, it looks fine.

Yours,
