I think the subversion patch in question is a step backwards.
Somehow we need to move toward the Right Thing.  At least the
documented FOO_FOUND variable should match the case of the
rest of the Foo_XXX variables in the same module.  This is why
I think the fphsa should just set both, or that each module
should translate the result to match its documentation.
