I made a build that seems to work by building on jabber.laptop.org.
Presumably the relevant factor is the older Erlang version. I only got it
working with 2.0.0-beta1; I can't remember right now whether I tried building
2.0.0 on jabber.laptop.org. Certainly the patch to make it build with older
versions of Erlang doesn't apply cleanly to 2.0.0, but there's an updated
version in the git repository.
