The fact that it's currently not supported is because the WC can't
represent it. There's a branch to implement it (on which I'm working -
all be it at a snails' pace).

Initial work has been done and the branch-code is working, except for
files with properties...

BTW, if you have time to work on it, I'll commit my latest changes
tonight. We can work on it together.

HTH,

Erik.
