        So - the diff is not -so- huge, by the standards of patches we push
daily, so if this is not going to happen weekly it seems ok to me :-)

        I guess - we require autotools anyway for autogen.sh to run, so ...
sounds like the best fix for master, but for -3-5 checking it in seems
reasonable ?

        How does that sound ?
