Ah, yes, the two separate APIs caused some confusion. It wasn't clear to me that 
one was going to go away and one essentially deprecated, so I went with the 
legacy bindings because they seemed to be better supported in my system's 
packages.

I'll update that; shouldn't be too much work. And if that solves the 
configuration issues that's even better!

Cheers,

Lars
