No, it doesn't work quite right for our release procedure.  I tried to make it 
work again while pulling gnulib modules into the post-release patch series, but 
Perl still makes my eyes bleed.

None yet, I just picked all the patches from my use-gnulib topic branch that 
don't *require* gnulib.

Although this particular one has zero impact on user facing code, we can leave 
the push until after the release... although I was hoping to keep the queue 
short for easier review.
