OK with you?
Yes, it is OK as an ad hoc solution for the 1.6.6 installer. However, we should probably investigate a bit more whether there is a more appropriate solution is available (for 1.6.7 and trunk). Jürgen PS. please post to the list (not to PM) if you have the installer ready. I'm currently off my PM account.
