  Yeah, this edge case isn't handled correctly:  There's a note in the 
source code [1] that basically says "XXX: do complex stuff here".

I believe If you run mksetupini again, you'll get the correct result, as 
the unneeded setup.hint has been removed.

Since I want to retire setup.hin support fairly soon, I'm not really 
planning on fixing this...
