Yes, I'll circle back and have a look at whether it's just a matter of installing an extra -dev package. If it's necessary to build from source then it's definitely too early to deprecate though. (Mostly if I have a long pullreq queue than printing warning messages in my build logs is a good way to get your pull request pushed to the end of the todo list :-)) thanks -- PMM
