I have a problem with the timing of this: 5.0.0.CR1 has already been released and the focus should be on bugfixing and documentation work. Therefore I believe this should be postponed to 5.1.0. I understand it is just an addition and not modifying anything already there, but it has its impact nonetheless (on the build process at any rate).
This is the first pull request I plan to issue for ISPN-961, the one
targeting the master branch. I will issue another for 4.2.x as soon as
this one is accepted.
