If the merge isn't going to happen today, would you mind installing the
patch (I would but I don't have a commit bit)? It's currently causing my
automated builds to break. And if I change the builder to pass the
"autoconf" flag, then if the code goes away in a merge it might break
again tomorrow.

Apologies, I even looked at it twice and thought it was correct. :-) I
guess I got confused because of the freeze and the recent version changes.
