Apart from two rather small fixes which I can squash if that's what you
are requesting, most of the series is already fine on its own, fully
working and bisectable. On top of that initial series from Michael I am
adding support for compiling additional code as modules, which is
arguably another feature. I don't see the point in merging them both
besides mixing two different works. Looking at the code shows that every
step is pretty clean, there is nothing going back and forth.

I will anyway try to make it look like a single series with the changes
requested by Rob in v2.

Thanks,
Miquèl
