--94eb2c1ce0d4e365210558fdedac Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Thanks Peter, it's reassuring to know that it's possible. If you give me one more hint, how do I override the "-generate-bundles" target and <create-bundle> calls? It isn't present in the template.xml file. Once I get over that hurdle I can customize things according to my requirements, and I'll likely create a document for the knowledge base that others can use for hints in the future.
