Hi Pablo,

Thank you.

FYI, I have a patch with a unit test that performs some consistency
checks of the "datatypes" array. Only TYPE_CT_LABEL + TYPE_CT_EVENTBIT
are missing.

You don't need to write a test about that. The test is however on top
of  "no recursive make" patches, which I will resent at a later time.
