Uups -- yes, you are right! This is yet the case. But I can change
it and let install.bat only displaying a text explaining the purpose
of update-links.

I think I can yet improve GetGnuWin32 a lot! I do not aim at a
comfortable windows installer, but nevertheless there are many
possibilities yet unemployed within the cmd environment ;-)

My two main issues (besides some intrinsic improvements) are:

1) INSTALL.BAT: If executed as Administrator (right-click with the
   mouse and choose "run as ..."), the packages can be extracted
   at the definitive place, which could be:

   - When GNUWIN32 is defined, there.
   - Else at %ProgramFiles%\GnuWin32

2) Rewrite the code so that it can run on any Windows Platform.

>From point 2) rises the question how big the demand for such a tool
is on other platform than Windows XP.

Thanks for feedback!

Mathias
