I don't think _anyone_ likes editing setup's C code, which is why we're
talking about a rewrite. :)
Seriously, I think we can find a balance between scripting and config
files that shouldn't require editing the program while still giving
needed functionality.

A good portion of loki_patch is xdelta, which could be seriously trimmed
down if the functionality could be extracted while losing the glib
dependency, etc.
There's actually a lot of needless bulk in everything right now,
honestly.
