That sounds good... but then we have a problem with the multiboot patch, which
does not apply to 4.10, and seems to have broken 4.00.

I must say I'm quite tempted to drop this patch, which obviously makes the
package harder to maintain.  Robert, do you have plans to update it ?
I just sent a mail to upstream to get his opinion on this missing feature.

I guess I should anyway switch the package to 3.0 (quilt) to make things easier.
