It looks correct to me, although I did not try it out. Georg, what do
you think?

If it goes in 1.5, I think it will eventually go to 1.4 too (maybe not

I guess this is not so important, since the switch is mostly set by
configure.py any way. I do not think many people wil have it in their
preferences file.
