Seednode downloading will now be broken for these diffs, since they've been
renamed to seednodes.ref.zip to make them consistent between
freenetproject.org/snapshots and emu ... I would put in a trivial commit for
this but mazzanet is working on them now.

Incidentally I'm of the opinion that substantially improved installers need to
go up ASAP rather than waiting till they're perfect, because the current ones
are pretty broken.

To reiterate, the normal webinstaller can silently "hang" forever, and often
does in my experience, due to the 'downloading uncompressed seednodes.ref twice
potentially very slowly from sourceforge' bug. The embedded java one does this
and installs a *known* insecure version of Java into the bargain, easilly
exploitable by hostile webpages for spyware installs or worse. This isn't such a
great thing for an anonymity/privacy framework to be doing.
