Huh, something broke my GnuPG signature. It is OK in my "Sent" folder. Note that the patch shouldn't be committed with the original message, but is meant for testing. If it keeps working with whatever is normally used to build the Windows release of OpenVPN (GCC, and Visual Studio), feel free to commit with an updated comment though. -- Matthias Andree
