Solved now - I had been trying to run the compiled version from the 
directory where I built it.  I THINK this resulted in it using the "old"

I tried installing and then running the CVS code, and now it picks up 
MBID tags from both ogg and mp3 files as expected.

Sorry for any false alarm.  Good work people :)
