When we're at it: I was recently told that GPL, the license we use for
Pan, requires us to reference or include all patches and instructions needed
to build Pan. So if we release a binary version of Pan, regardless of
platform, we should also put all the needed patches and instructions
somewhere and reference them.

Probably the easiest way here to meet the requirements is to simply commit
the patch to the Pan repo, or patch the configure.in script after some
#ifdef modifications.
