This seems to be fixed in git master (bfd32f1eb3). Seeing variables
there, and checking what happened in the previous commit (7842e76a6d),
I'm not sure I get what's done there. Why do we need to be able to
override all those variables?

Another question: any reason why MAJOR_VERSION hasn't been made
overridable along with the others?

Also, changelog entries explaining commits would be nice.

Finally, thanks for your time+work on dini bugs.
