+ Do *not silently rely* on these variables with your application. Tell us

+
+ Value 0 means that the new behavior is enabled. Any other value enables

+ *in your application*, *not here* :
+
+ -  #include "libburn/back_hacks.h" like you include "libburn/libburn.h"
+
+ -  Set the libburn_back_hack_* variable of your choice to 1. 
+    In your app. Not here.
+
+ -  Then start and use libburn as usual. Watch out for results.
+
+ -  If you believe to have detected a flaw in our change, come forward
+    and report it to the libburn developers. Thanks in advance. :)
