Cool suggestion - Olivier, don't you think so ;-)

Yep, by choice.

Thanks for recognising that :-)

Since I'm not building on Windows, it's not yet tested in a situation 
where all options were for sure visible. However I as reference I took a 
situation that I saw some time ago, and that gave me the impression 
that... But no, not fully sure yet. Will look asap when there is a build 
having the patch.
There's also the small problem that the write/read from the 
configuration is not yet functional (see my initial mail).

So there you guys will be taking the moral responsibility to support the 
poor users loosing work while having the undefined pool 'experimental' 
activated, just to record a partly broken macro ... :-D

Thanks for your support, Michael!
