These two packages should be updated at the same time, as the old hop
won't build with the new bigloo.
I'd feel better if a bigloo and hop user verified that everything still
works as it should.

Thanks to both of you for the review. Changes pushed as
5e3ea571c5ac10858b2a1d6d3dc94a26408ae601 and
082725b5027a3782f242b634f94b9049d4c7f309!
P.S. The most recent Hop version is 3.1.0-pre2 as of today and the older
RC was removed from the FTP server. I updated the package definition
accordingly.
