That works for me. B-)

Then I can justify spending free time on a patch, instead of doing
something very similar for free, but only for the client.  I can put it
at the end of my TODO and hope some one else does it first. B-)

Though right now, I'm gonna see what Vincent does to fix the bug that
crashes 1.7.2 when you try to disable ecore_con.  If that results in a
1.7.3 that works for me, then no need to deal with that right now.  Or
perhaps I can use the fix in a patch, but it would be patching the
configure script in the tarball, which might be ugly.
