Hi,

in principal this could be made configurable with the current names as 
defaults. However, that would mean, that on openSUSE installations user will 
not be able to develop without configuring these settings which might cause a 
bunch of false error reports. As both variants of the tools produce correct 
results, there should be no need to differentiate between the two. If you 
would like to have them both, please think of another method.

Regards,
Detlev
