Awesome! I used the installer on a Window 7 VM, and it worked perfectly
(sending a SPA packet to fwknopd running on a separate Linux box).

I also compiled up the UI on an Ubuntu 1410 system, and it worked there too
after I got the wxWidgets stuff installed. One minor thing is that the
backspace key did not seem to delete characters out of fields like the
stanza name - not sure if this is something in my setup or not (ubuntu VM
on a Mac). I was able to highlight the complete field and then type over
the existing text as a workaround. Also, for both the Linux and Windows
UI's, the tab key doesn't seem to move the cursor from one field to the
next. (Totally minor - just reporting things in case they are useful.)

A feature for a future release might be to add a status bar (or box) that
lets the user know that a SPA packet has been sent after hitting the "Send
Knock" button. This could come in handy if the IP resolution step is slow
for example. This could maybe be a text status area at the bottom of the UI
that just flashes the steps involved such as "resolving IP...", "sending
knock", etc. If the IP resolution is fast, then this status would just
flash very briefly before moving to the next phase. What do you think?

I tried briefly on my Mac as well - ran into some linker issues that I
think are my fault. More soon on this front.

Thanks to you, fwknop usability is about to take a giant step forward.
