Russell,

I going to defer this patch to v6 since we are currently in feature
freeze.  I would ask that you please change the source naming to match
the feature name "save project as" and resubmit it when you get a
chance.  You are using "save as project" for source names but the
feature and UI string are "save project as".

Thanks,

Wayne
