Comment:
Please look at this from a broader perspective. We wish to encourage
habits that improve maintainability across the project. One of those
habits is to prefer patches over install-time substitutions, except where
absolutely necessary.
I just fixed this in a robust way in r154030; one would be hard-pressed to
call it “fancy”. It did not take very much time and is easy to translate
into a concrete fix for upstream to consider. You might argue that it was
only simple because I have been doing this for a while, but it would not
have been simple had I decided that I wasn’t ever going to bother digging
into configure scripts and wading through autoconf to understand how it
works. Taking time up front to learn the build systems pays dividends down
the road.
