Thank Yury, I imported repository to collab-maint and added my changes on top.

Hopefully your concerns have been addressed, please have a look at the updated 
package and my other email.

Thank you very much for your help on patch 99.
It is now working as expected.

Never mind, I already did it. Sorry for asking for help, it only appeared to 
be difficult at 4am. :)

Certainly patch is not needed, but I can't tell is upstream still need this 
workaround. However it should be safe so I just implemented it properly with 
passing an argument to configure.

Thanks for all your help.

Cheers,
Dmitry.

P.S. if you think 'mc' doesn't belong to collab-maint we can always move it 
back. I think collab-maint is a great place for a package. 
There are much more sophisticated packages hosted at collab-maint so perhaps 
'mc' is not special enough to be maintained outside of collab-maint.
