Jacopo, How do envision we approach this endeavour:
- work on 3 separate integration paths for resp. 13.x, 14.x and 15.x, or - work on 1 integration path (on trunk) before the gradle approach will be brought in, then backport to the abovementioned branches, and subsequently phase out the IVY integration code when the code from the Gradle approach has been integrated?
