Hey Pat

You don’t normally need to build it against a different BEAM target;
it’s sufficient to use a newer one via the usual PATH prepending
method. Or have you found something where this matters?

Sometime over Christmas I'll look into flipping lang/elixir 
over to latest Elixir; it requires rewriting the RabbitMQ
port so it doesn't have the direct Elixir dependency anymore.

Yes, good move.
