Comment (by trommler):

 Replying to [comment:10 Phyx-]:
 > Hmm, but what would the advantages of this be over the proposed solution
 though?
 The parameter (or value in the environment variable) would not need to
 depend on the installation directory (of the RTS libs)
 but just say '''what''' flavour of RTS is wanted. The advantages are
 1. User's don't need to learn the internal organisation of directories,
 which also might change with releases.
 1. In scripts (testcases etc) we do not depend on those directory names
 either.
