That would be very great.

There is also a patch at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27318 that I have
been meaning to take a look at. This is probably a good time to merge in
the changes you have already made, and the savannah patch, and see if
more changes are necessary.

My autotool-fu is weak, and I usually go by trial-and-error. So help on
this issue would be really awesome.
