It'd be nice to To Things Right, I agree.
But that doesn't feel a particularly major problem.
The configure script is in such a mess already,
a little bit extra won't hurt!


I'd much prefer to see this patched now (and fixed properly
later), rather than go through another release cycle with
sort-of-broken code.  We currently get this problem reported
fairly regularly, and it would be useful to stem that.
(Plus if Thomas is correct, then it'll become vital to fix
it at some point fairly soon, so we might as well start now).


I propose that this patch be applied ASAP, and we see
what happens.
