Sorry, I was waiting for more feedback in other parts of the patch
before sending it. I send a new version now with the typos you pointed
out fixed, and the changes in customize.texi that I said. I've also
dropped some of the changes in the previous path that I don't think that
were actually necessary, to keep the patch and review simpler.
