Right, not sure why I didn't do that in the end. I guess I planned to
check it was possible to refine the variable afterwards, and forgot to
get rid of that extra variable dance afterwards. Addressed in v2.

ACK. That was the first name of the file, actually. But since one has
to specify a full path to that file (jhbuild can be called from
anywhere), I picked a suffix for an existing variable instead of
introducing a new one to avoid redundancies. v2 uses arch.skip again,
and sets a (“temporary”) variable in jhbuildrc to avoid duplicating
the modular path.
