 I haven''t had a chance to test the patch in the PR, but if it doesn't
 leave any files behind then it has my OK to be committed.
 
 As for us mirroring the FPSE Extensions after June 30th, that is not
 currently possible.  See below response fro RTR Support:

 The only way around this is if we could get a response from Microsoft
 that would allow the redistribution of the FP Extensions, after June
 30th.
