Thanks. I've applied that to the hdrinstall2 git tree at
git://git.infradead.org/hdrinstall2-2.6.git (and
http://git.infradead.org/?p=hdrinstall2-2.6.git ), so it should be in
Andrew's next -mm release.

Yeah, I did consider that option. When the dust settles on this lot, we
really shouldn't be updating it that often though. I'm not sure it's
worth it.
Having to hit M-x makefile-mode and ESC-q occasionally isn't that much
of a hardship in the meantime :)
