Updates of the kind outlined are made only in the master, v3.8 
branch(1). Compile related issues cropping up over time have been fixed 
in the v3.7 stable branch since release - buts that's it. Linux package 
providers are at v3.7 only as far as I know.

I agree with the changes you've made with regards to updating the v3.8 
branch. The allscene.sh update will need to be merged with what's in the 
master branch as it has otherwise changed.

I'll create a branch with your fixes and open an issue so they won't be 
forgotten.

The reflection.ini update was made in the master branch very shortly 
after ThH's posting.

(1) - My understanding is it was the (got to beta something) v3.71 
release which was dropped for a v3.8 one. The action coming after a few 
users pointed out the changes more accurately represented another 
substantial update and not a patch release to v3.7.
