[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Erik,

Thank you!

This build failure was bugging a lot of people, so I pushed your 
fix as commit c5d68c6d12e691bceba60bc9537ea499bb50273d, with a 
message matching out conventions.
Please take a look.

For example, we use a specific ‘gnu: foo: Update to $VERSION.’ 
title, and again in the changelog section.

I moved this comment to the code.  Comments like this almost 
*never* belong in commit messages.  Who reads those — in context — 
after a week?

Thanks again!
