On second thought, this can't work.  The manifest file starts the
application with an execution level of "asInvoker" which means *not*
elevated.  Even if you change this to elevated (I don't know the right
level string for this off hand), the problem that you won't get an
elevation prompt when a process gets started through CreateProcess
remains the same.  Too bad.  The mainfests work in one direction, but
they don't in the other.  Baeh.
