Without "store=active", address assignment is "sticky" and will even
survive reboots - thus making the next tunnel setup fail, because the
address is already there. On WinXP, that was not needed, but Win7 seems
to have changed the default.

OpenVPN by default doesn't use netsh to configure IPv4 - so it might be
necessary there as well, but didn't show up yet. For IPv6, there is only
a single method of configuration - netsh - and that breaks on Win7
otherwise.
I have not yet tested this, but Seth has, both on XP and Win7, so "ACK!"...
David: I think it's easiest in this case if I integrate it, and then send
it to you. It needs to go to my "based on 2.2" branch as well.
