I do not see a specific reason to *not* apply this patch, but I'm wondering
if you could shed some background light on the changed behaviour in
openvpnmsica.dll and tapctl.exe?

I'm not sure if we're going to care for someone who uses a 2.5 msi installer
to set up a TAP interface and then runs a 2.3 openvpn.exe on top of it and
wonders why it isn't finding the TAP driver - but the question might come
up, and I like having good answers... :-)
