Hi Rainer,
        I use the config.xml file as a resource for the command line switches, because I do not need to run wpkg.js.
In addition I noticed the encoding of the file changed from "CP 1252" to "UTF-8 with BOM", which might be due to compatibility issues with the Unicode characters.

Using WinMerge it takes just a few minutes to update my testing and my production environment, since I already used the latest RC in my test environment, there was nothing holding me back to roll it out to the production immediately.
