I'd be happy to code this Paul if you think it's a good idea.  Those functions aren't called very often so it wouldn't take me more than half an hour.

the semantics of "ensure_outputs()" is intended to be "return whether
or not the requested output configuration was achievable, with the
standard posix convention of zero indicating success and any other
value indicating some kind of failure". so i'd prefer not to make this
change. a3 has the same issues, so i have to change things there also.
