It sounds like that your change would depend on Gary's patch (rather, if
it is done independently, it could cause unnecessary conflicts).  As the
gv/portable topic is now fully part of 'next', I think the easiest would
be to base your topic directly on top of it, iow, on top of 09ce4bb
(build: propagate $DIFF to scripts, 2010-06-05).
