I like this idea. It should be possible to tag some extensions as
experimental and change the status to stable without actually moving
anything. One way could be to have an extra check in the separate
config.m4 files, or perhaps better, alter config-stubs to only include
the config.m4 file if there isn't a file called say .experimental in
the extension directory.
