	Beg your pardon ? This is a breakage, frontend using this constant (32)
value will crash, and recompilation isn't a clean solution (i mean, for
people who simply use binary packages). I suggest, like Siggi, to
release a rc4 now with a 32 value, and rc5 will will have 128 length
with a libtool API version change.
