Thanks for bringing this up. There's a bug open for this, but I'd like to 
stress that people need not wait for someone else to get around to it. There 
have already been some patches from Mentor folks to start getting this support 
moved across (although not yet merged due to earlier lack of a concrete 
resolution on the issue of unpackaged unit files, which is now resolved). 
Further help from anyone would be very much appreciated:
