Once the logging proposal has been implemented or at least is about to
get finished we can think about a server part which collects reports
(MPWA? Trac plugin?).

You mean that command_exec? Actually it is not necessary to catch that
as command_exec itself returns with -code error in case the executed
command returns with a non-zero exit code. I don't know why configure
catches that and throws it again. I assume it has something to do with
the attempt to do localization there, but actually that has not been
done everywhere and mostly just rotted away over the years.
