I am just on the jump into my holidays, so I have not yet the time
to test it ... I want to try it for all builds with the scripts
I posted with my v2 ... but a first fast look into your patch looks
nice, if it works, it is ok with me ... I am back aprox. july 5th.

maybe a README entry would be fine ;-)

Thanks!

bye,
Heiko
