I'd rather have an URL in the configure error message that points to the wiki page with instructions. Otherwise we'll be stuck with the fix for a long time. The fix will be ugly and will require either a) extra boilerplate whenever a hash set is used or b) including a copy of the correct header in the tarball.
No, that's not really true. First is that there are more than two options.
More important is that we should only use an optimized data structure when required. This includes measuring performance before and after the switch.
But the *KEY* is that forcing an end user to patch their system is FAR UGLIER!!!
I'll see what I can do with helping the encapsulation to minimize the problem and your perceived ugliness..
