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.
