Subject: another new setup


By Brian Keener:

	* dialog to let you choose *if* desktop/start menu shortcuts
          are created.

	* Fix bug with Win 9x shortcuts going in C:\

By Andrej Borsenkow:

	* Dialog to let user specify local directory for package
          downloads.

By Jeffrey Juliano:

	* Don't crash if you click on "No packages to install"

By DJ Delorie:

	* 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.
