I think one function is enough; there is not much benefit in striving
for maximal generality here, since these two operations should always
be linked in our context.

Ah, but that is less functional, no? ;-)

Thanks for the other suggestions, which look quite interesting. The current
solution looks easier to a Scheme neophyte like me, and as there is no major
objection, I am going to push the patch as it is.

This will allow us to go forward with the other problems in the python build
system, and hopefully package a few more modules!
