* Don't double up package list if you "back" from the chooser.
* Remove "1.1" version designation from shortcuts.
* Ability to detect setup upgrades via setup.ini (once
setup.ini is auto-generated, not yet).
Reminder to those interested in getting involved, the README in
setup's sources (src/winsup/cinstall) has the latest to-do list, which
I've copied here for your convenience. Contact me if you want to work
on something, so I can coordinate who is working on what.
To-Do list:
ini.cc: add field in setup.ini to specify whether package is installed
by default, or not.
install.cc: scan newly installed files for README files, show list to
user, let them read them if they want.
Make the site listbox bigger.
download.cc: add a "total progress" indicator, like the install one.
add a "category" field to setup.ini, let user choose which categories
of packages to install, perhaps with a "custom..." button to lead to
the current chooser.
remember which packages were selected to be skipped, and which prev/curr/exp
option was last selected, and recall them each time the chooser runs.
Add friendly error reporting to simpsock.cc
Add option to download sources also.
