Comment:

 Selecting the backend is possible in the SWIG-based Perl bindings which
 have now replaced the hand-coded XS bindings on trunk.  It would be
 unhelpful to add an incompatible way to achieve this in 1.2.x - users
 would either have to change their code in the near future, or we'd need to
 either implement that way in trunk and then support two APIs which can
 achieve the same ends.

 So sorry, but I don't think we want this patch.  If we're going to support
 this in 1.2.x, it needs to be compatible with how this works in trunk.
