OK (I presume the next pretest will come soon).

And another question: when running the test suite, is it easy to
switch between using ctexi2any and texi2any?  It seems to me that just
saying

  $ make check CONVERTER=texi2any

one could run the test suite using the Perl implementation even if the
package was configured with --enable-using-c-texi2any, is that right?
