This was the first solution I tried, but after using it I noticed
that when I change the history list while the minibuffer is active
(e.g. I use M-k in the minibuffer to purge the history list from
unnecessary old elements, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-06/msg00937.html)
then after exiting from the minibuffer I lose all my changes in the
history list.
