At least for those applications, you might be able to go back to an 
earlier mpl version, pull out the c++ code and the wrappers for Value, 
BinOp, etc., and turn them into an independent extension.  That might be 
worthwhile if you have a *lot* of third-party code that is using those 
things extensively in ways not tied to mpl.  I suspect it would not be 
very difficult.  It's a long time since I looked at that code, though.
