I wasn't very happy with this package due to the size of the patches,
and the fact that there is no real upstream to which we could submit
those patches. But I guess that's just how it is, and there's not much
we can do about it. And it's really a useful package.

So I've applied, after rebasing on master and fixing the Config.in.host
prompt, as you noted during the review.

Thanks!

Thomas
