Ben went through a series of big changes where we made most of the 
global
references go away. That allowed us to ease its parallelisation. As a 
result,
your patches need more work to be integratable. The second patch can be 
applied
as is though. I'll have to think about how make this into Ben. Is 
reading a .ben
file from stdin could be a solution for you?
