Hm.... it seems that these should definitely be added. I'm happy for
them to be added to this project, but I'm not sure it is *required*.
Indeed, the pathconf/fpathconf changes should probably have been made at

So while there is a relationship here, I'm not sure that the projects
are necessarily locked together.
