PATCH 1/1 Update INSTALL-win32.txt for OpenVPN 2.3.10
From: Samuli Seppänen <[email protected]...>
OpenVPN 2.3.10 includes an OpenVPN-GUI which automatically requests elevation of privileges using UAC. Modified INSTALL-win32.txt to reflect this behavior.

ACK from me. This seems to be still not applied.

Well, it isn't, but I answered Samuli's mail, and he agreed that we do not want to go there:

I wonder if these bits should not be removed from the INSTALL-win32.txt we ship in the main openvpn repo - since this is a gui thing and happens totally outside the main repo... move it to the windows build tree, maybe, and show it from the installer upon installation?

Hi,
Looking at the the full contents of INSTALL-win32.txt your suggestion makes sense. I'll migrate the file to openvpn-build and then send a removal patch for openvpn/INSTALL-win32.txt.
---------------------------------------------------
... and this patch never came... :-)
So, what next? Samuli? Apply, based on Arne's ACK, or remove?

Uh, I'm embarrassed :). That said, I have the task in our JIRA ("Migrate INSTALL-win32.txt to openvpn-build"), so I had not forgotten about it.
Now that tap-windows6 dual-signatures seem to work, I think I'll focus on cleaning up the JIRA backlog by tackling the small and easy tasks such as this one in one go.

Let's continue with the original plan.
