The 3.0.1 relase came out _before_ the include feature was added. Please
use a nightly snapshot for the most recent version, or alternatively
I've created a developer's snapshot when I released the new experimental
binary packages. That has a version number 3.0.1+binpkg4, this is much
newer than 3.0.1, although still somewhat older than a nightly snapshot
would be and already contains the include feature.

The only thing holding back a real 3.0.2 release, is that I have not
really received feedback on the binary packages so far. And without some
field testing I'd reluctant to call it a release. So if you have 30
minutes, please download the installer for one platform and tell me if
it works for you. This means an immense contribution towards a 3.0.2
release.

You can download the binary packages from:

Thanks in advance.
