[Xie Shaohui] OK. Then I'll split the current configuration file in two,
one is for RCW, another is for PBI commands. Also, add one more entry for
the second configuration file. But as you know, Timur's tool is not in
open source now, I can only use a default RCW file for now.

I have two questions:
1. Is there a plan that we submit Timur' tool to open source?
2. If yes, should I combine Timur's tool with my tool or I just tell user
They should use Timur's tool to produce the RCW and then use it in my tool?

Best Regards, 
Shaohui Xie
