Oops. I was getting confused by an internal discussion about revamping it
more.

Which is fine.

Reverting to 1.1 should have helped though. I'm pretty sure the problem is
because of the change from 1.1 to 1.2. In the 1.1 version timestamps were
compared (cp -u) before installing the mlt files. In 1.2 it's
unconditionally overwritten, which is a bug that has been fixed internally
but hasn't got propagated out yet.
