This popped up a couple days ago:

http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3964

..which makes me inclined to pass on axiak-only support for now. If we
can tweak check-code to not use finditer and thus be bi-compatible,
that'd be great.

(As it happens, my own test servers come with Facebook's version
pre-installed, which makes it a nuisance for me to even test the axiak
version.)
