The fix proposed in ticket 7059 makes sense, I see the problem here in 
my local nmake, so +1

But I don't understand Mateusz's response.  I think the change in ticket 
7059 should be made, and no changes to any defaults, because packagers 
by default are not sharing default builds.  Again, maybe I am 
misunderstanding Mateusz's message.
