Has anybody had a chance to try these patches?  If not, does anyone
object to the idea of committing them anyway, and see how things work
out?  It doesn't seem we're near to a release, so there's ample time
to revert these changes before cutting Autoconf 2.70, in case they
won't work as expected, or will reveal unforeseen issues.

Thanks,
