OK, done.  If there are no further objections, I will soon proceed to
re-write the experimental/preproc branch once again with the latest
version of these patches; then we can think when and how to merge it
into 'master' or 'next' (the merge will be delayed until the discussion
about the new branching/versioning scheme for automake has been sorted
out; see <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13578>).
