Indeed, I have no problem with checking in your patch as-is, and saving
the *scanf cleanups for a separate patch.

Sounds like I've just volunteered myself for a beginner's project then.
It may be a while (and probably should wait until after the current
release), but it seems like a patch series that addresses dangerous
constructs one place at a time would be worthwhile, both in improving the
code base and in getting me familiar with more than just the autotools
input files.
