Awesome! I'll try the latest commit soon.

BTW what would be the simplest way to explain why it worked using the
Makefile in hydra pkg, but not when installed via pacakge.el? Inspite of
same (right?) .elc files?

I looked at the commit, but being C-illiterate, made no sense to me.

PS:
Also shouldn't bug reports be easier to write (and recipes easy to
reproduce) if that macro be made part of emacs core? So that people can
assimilate info about packages needing to be installed, followed by elisp
forms in a concise fashion? Eli?
