I don't provide a default B.blend (nor the blender.org binaries do),
and it's needed at packaging level not at a single user level. Providing
a .B.blend would mean that I've to provide in the RPM package a default
.B.blend which is achieved the first time I ran the blender, and I don't think
this is the best solution/approach.

The other alternative which comes to my mind is to ignore the status
of the YFwxportxml toggle and use always the plugin, i.e. replace the block:

         if (!R.r.YFexportxml)
                 YAF_switchFile();
         else
                 YAF_switchPlugin();

with only

	YAF_switchPlugin();

or withint #ifdef;

#ifdef DONT_USEYAFRAYXML
	YAF_switchPlugin();
#else
         if (!R.r.YFexportxml)
                 YAF_switchFile();
         else
                 YAF_switchPlugin();
#endif

Thanks
Bye
Giuseppe.
