IMHO, this should be added to svn so it will ship in future releases. I will 
do it if someone confirms it works correctly.

Additionally, I think more needs to be done regarding maintenance of extension 
scripts etc. to reduce the amount of effort in getting a setup more 
comprehensive. However, my more concrete reply to the "is Hobbit maintained" 
thread doesn't seem to make it to the list, even after 4 tries over a few 
weeks ...
