please consider r1966 for inclusion into 3.1.x Being in "contrib", it has no (zero) impact on the core functionality. The current commit in 3.1 (r1699) is plain broken. It is no issue for 3.0.x, as the file does not exist there. In order to avoid the process and because 3.0.x should only get critical fixes, I will not request inclusion.
