If it works relaible and some users use it, the tt patch is surely included. I 
suggest to maintenance it as a seperate distribution for some weeks and then 
include or throw it away based on user feedback.

It is a confguration option anyway, at runtime. So you can switch to tt by 
typing one or two options in the Config.xml file. I remember that I tried 
first to make it an option on a page basis, but this did not work. I do not 
remember the reason.
