That is an interesting approach. I think it's good to go. Magnus may 
want to tweak it, but as he is on vacation, it may take a while to get 
feedback from him.

Perhaps we could just put the builtin logic in the default 
BASIC_REQUIRE_PROG, but we could also wait and do that later. No need to 
stall this fix more I think.
