I think I'd happily take 1, 2, 5 and 6, but 3 and 4 really needs to be
redone, mentioning every option just once, not twice as it is done
now.  After that's done, it might be not necessary anymore for 3 at all.

Or I can wait for a resend of whole series.  Or alternatively I can
try to rework it myself, but for now I'm quite busy so can't promise
anything.

Please note that major tweaks in ./configure will most likely conflict
with modules support series which has been posted for revew again.

What should I do?

Thanks,
