> USER-VISIBLE CHANGES:
> Fix 'Can't open (null) for reading' errors.
> Setup now checks bz2 (de)compression status rather than spewing TODO's
> into setup.log.full.
> Returning to the chooser from another page will now refresh the view.
> Packages with corrupt md5's in the source that are being upgraded will
> popup a warning, rather than uninstalling and then failing to install
> the new version.
> Setup is now more helpful when reporting what log file to look in if
> errors occured.
> Setup now has two new views - skipped packages (won't be installed) and
> one for
> packages that don't need updating.
> New chooser 'keep' button to change the default activity on packages to
> not upgrade - useful when installing a single new package.
> Show all categories in the chooser, not just the first package.
> Setup will detect and optionally disable McAfee during installation,
> hopefully reducing the bluescreens some users have reported.
> Use per-screen window titles.
> Packages without accessible download sites won't be available for
> installing.
> Updating a user-site in the downloads site list will replace previous
> sites at the same server.
> Parsing of the setup.bz2/.ini files is reported via a progress bar, so
> that setup does not appear to hang after the downloads.

> Only place the tcp port in http requests when it's not port 80.
