Currently this is done throught the "preamble" file inside the .sar
file.
As Andreas said - all this works today with the only difference that you
can't just use the normal "file in" mechanism, you need to go through
the SAR installer class.
But personally I don't think that is a problem - it might even be a good
thing - we should strive in moving away from the old formats in favor of
the new ones IMHO.
