Yes.  I wonder if there are features of gnulib which make this work in a
cross-platform way?  I've often wondered if we might get some win out of
utilizing gnulib more in GNU make code.

However, I think that investigation and reworking will need to wait
until after the next release.  I don't want to open that can of worms
yet... at least not widely.  But if you see something there that would
make your work for "load" simpler let me know and we'll look into it.


One other thing: I want to make a format cleanup commit at some point to
deal with a number of annoying issues related to TABs, EOL syntax, etc.,
as well as update copyright dates, etc.  I don't want to do that when it
will conflict with major work anyone else is doing, so let me know when
a good time is for you.
