I understand from Peter Wemm that there are significant API changes in later versions, together with significant local hacks which would make this a nightmare (libmytinfo itself being one such hack, I think). IMO, we'll either need to upgrade to a later version and break backwards-compatability, or stick with the one we have now and audit it.
