No, he is right; I was wrong. You are right that if you want to compile an ROTD
from Mercury to executable, you need a recent Mercury compiler, and this is
indeed what I was thinking of when I sent my original email, but he is also right
in that you do not *have to* compile ROTDs from Mercury: because they ship
with pre-built .c files, you do not need a working Mercury compiler at all.
(Unless of course some internet gremlin mangles those .c files.)
