As far as I can tell, the patch has other problems, but
since those would be more obvious to whomever was going to
shepherd this patch in (and I'm not what person) I didn't
point them out. E.g. I see little point in AC_SUBSTing
AM_BIG_ID, what's that for? But as I said, I'm not the
person to merge this, I don't feel qualified. Someone else
will have to do that.

As previously stated, I have just skimmed through it. I have
not tried it.

I apologize if my comments have been seen as a full review
and caused this patch to be left in limbo. That was not my
intention, but I should have stated it explicitly from the
beginning.

Cheers,
Peter
