 Seeing we have to regenerate the makefiles with the new bakefile anyhow
apparently, I've finally applied the patch.

 If they do this, it's their problem, at least we don't have to maintain

 People will abuse this function and, in the best case, construct paths

use. Just see the comment to your patch, I wonder what exactly its
submitter needs this function for.
