Ok, this was it.

Ok.  Here is an updated patch with a new simple test for XSParagraph.
It doesn't work, it cannot find XSParagraph::new.  I tried to show the
methods, but none showed up...

Ok.  Since there are fallbacks on the pure perl module, I guess this
would be best to always fall back on pure perl if in the standalone perl
module, and not try to use the XS version in that case.  however, if you
don't want to maintain the standalone perl module, then maybe it could
simply be removed.
