Oh, I'm sorry, I did not realize that this was for discussion. I assumed these 
were ready-to-commit patches.

I think that you and Joel Sherrill should coordinate, as there might (or might 
not) be overlap with both your patch sets regarding autotools stuff. Please see 
what he is doing here:

They get lost in memory. People forget they are on the ML, what date, from 
whom, etc. It's always easier to refer to a database.
