To retain the current behaviour and only support automatic muxing
for the `.so' request a single line of the patch i sent in has to
be changed:
diff --git a/src/include/file_case.h b/src/include/file_case.h
index ab64e2e..eb981b8 100644
--- a/src/include/file_case.h
+++ b/src/include/file_case.h

mux_default = fc_none,

case
// none of the above has been given explicitly by a callee
- _mux_unpack_default = mux_unpack

And i think i will have a look and send another patch to unbreak
the installed HDTBL examples, which seem to be broken for four and
a half years (at least groff(1)ing the installed sources is
impossible).
