It's possible that the country-specific mods are not done properly with
conditional compile defs, and that there are multiple versions of the
sourcecode. You would NOT BELIEVE some of the unbelievably stupid things
that are done in embedded controller apps. I mean, nobody will (normally)
get the chance to look at the code, either source or image, so people do
the most amazingly hairy things back in the r&d labs...
