Sorry for harping on about this, but I still have questions.

- What library is this sentence talking about? Is it the Mercury
  standard library, or some other?

- How does setting setting up the value of an accumulating option
   *control* anything? What code uses the value of the option
  to decide in what grades to install anything? The output of
  "egrep -w libgrades" did not reveal any such code to me.

Zoltan.
