Indeed - the end goal is useful, but it seems we have different views on
how to get there. This patch has problems on Windows (described in this
thread), and on Linux (bug 35814).

Trying to fix it up in place will leave master broken for some time, so
I think an initial revert followed by reworking the patch in smaller
steps may be an easier way forward.
