Moving this over to dev@ - although user@ is still on this reply.
Maybe we should just rename our patched version of the mochijson2
library to make the changes clear.
couch_json or couch_mochijson both come to mind.
Maybe changing names is silly - it depends on how many people are out
there having the same issue as Lynton. It would certainly make the
fact that it's patched more clear.
Also I'm starting to think we'll need someone to push the json bifs
stuff forward with the OTP team. It's not gonna just make itself
happen. They say there is going to be an easier practice for native
extensions, but perhaps it will take the imminent pressure of
encode_json and decode_json to light a fire under that effort.
Thoughts? This probably doesn't matter for 0.10

Hi Chris,
I would say rename the "CouchDB version of Mochiweb" to something else.
Obviously in a perfect world it would be great for the CouchDB Mochiweb and
the "separate Mochiweb" to be perfectly in sync, but if not then I suppose
renaming is an option.
Also, perhaps when compiling CouchDB maybe you should compile the "CouchDB
Mochiweb" into an "internal folder" of the CouchDB folder, rather than
compiling into the EBIN of a "Mochiweb folder" under "/lib". For instance in
my case I already had Mochiweb installed under "/lib" and then I compiled
CouchDB which confused things "Mochiweb" wise.
Looking forward to seeing what happens on this, I really enjoy CouchDB!
Thanks
Lynton

Doesn't mochiweb get installed in $PREFIX/lib/couchdb/mochiweb-version/ ?
