I had a quick look yesterday at OCI's MPC. It is not that different from ACE+TAO's one. Actually, every ACE+TAO release ships with up-to-date MPC. Indeed, ACE+TAO version 5.5.1+1.5.1 is close to MPC version 3.3.xx. Thanks to you, I had a look at Version.pm, and now I know how the `xx' get computed: it is the number of ChangeLog entries since the last major.minor release. (And therefore I know why mpc-ace version displays `??' instead of `xx': it does not find the ChangeLog) So you're correct: mpc-ace should not depend *at all* on libace-dev. I'll fix this, thanks.
