Thanks for the ping. I have to rework my PR anyway. There is no need to pay special attention to it. Any change that makes the publishing setup clearer is good IMO. I think this PR is a good step forward.  

(I didn't get back to the topic yet on the my PR, because it is more work as I initially expected. What is complicating things me there is how conceptually get the setup right with the Jars for different platform built on different machines. I have to set aside some mote time for it.)
