OK. Sorry for asking the same question again, there's so many different
topics going on at the same time that I easily lose track of previous
discussions. Whenever this sort of discussion happens, it's a good idea
to improve the commit log in the next iterations of the patch with the
result of the discussion. Not only this avoids getting asked the same
questions, but it also means that the discussion/reasoning gets kept in
the Git history, which might prove useful in the future.

Can you nonetheless resend a v4 with the minor improvements suggested
by Arnout (and possibly with an improved commit log explaining why we
need to support both an "external" environment and an "embedded"
environment) ?

Thanks!

Thomas
