OK, if you'd prefer it that way I'll change it. On the other hand, the
initialization order is not fully specified by the standard, so I
think inter-platform differences are to be expected anyway. What I was
trying to avoid was that upgrading from 1.30 to 1.31 would alter
things on the *same* platform. I think it's unlikely to be a big
issue, though, so I'll make the change before comitting.
