Unfortunately I wasn't able to come up with a simple way to just replace the synchronous
require
-call, since we need to ensure that the default preferences are available when bundling starts.Hence this patch adds a new intermediate parsing-step in all the relevant gulp-tasks, but this shouldn't affect build-times noticeable since the amount of extra parsing is very small.
Please note: It's very possible that there's a better way to handle this, however I figured that unblocking further ESM-work is more important than a "perfect" solution.
