Perhaps not calling it stable was not the best way to describe it.
But the current state has some features that are not fully complete  
and still need development, permissions for example.
I'm just a beleaver that anything thats put into trunk should be as  
stable / compleat as it can be and not where the developemnt of new  
features should take place.
That way people can follow trunk a little more safely. Its all a  
matter of preference tho.

1.1.4 _should_ just work 'out the box', I can't foresee you needing  
to change anything for that update.

Thats good to here, I'd guess most distributions will catch up in due  
time.
But  (and I've no idea how possible this is) if we could do away with  
the requirement on the current bindings and some how wrap everything  
into a nice little gem it will make a hudge difference, again, I've  
no idea how possible or not that is.
Myself I had to recompile on OpenBSD and OS X.

I've not had chance to play around with that stuff as of yet. The  
website says its 'functional to some degree', Sorry if I was jumping  
the gun on that one.
