Comment (by m at miguelgodinho.com):

 Sure, makes sense. I was afraid of breaking the settings for other
 platforms by patching the universal variant. Most of the information I
 found on the guide & wiki doesn't go very deep, and unfortunately I don't
 have much time to infer from the source code in Tcl. Could you please let
 me know where one can efficiently find further information?
