I poked around a bit, but couldn't think of anything better than
what your patch does.  infiles[i].language contains the actual
language to use for each file, but it's not yet set up when
lang_specific_driver is called.

So I'd say to go with what you have, for the branch at least, and
the trunk too if nobody has any other suggestions.
