[erlang-questions] Erlang/OTP installs broken Hipe app

[Eric Merritt]

So we need to take a multi-pronged approach.  I think

1) I guess we need to have a list of 'known broken apps' that we
exclude by default, and warn about
2) Need to send a bug to the OTP team, or at least post something to
the Erlang mailing list. They should not be breaking crap.
