Inconsistency would arise if someone has different data files in the build-tree and in the install-tree.

Hm, especially the MSVC case does require testing. I will have a look at that, but my time is rather limited this week, if I look at my agenda (and I will be abroad next week, which also limits the time I can spend). I will try anyway to test the MSVC case. Regards, Arjen DISCLAIMER: This message is intended exclusively for the addressee(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
