WPKG Client 1.0-rc1 has been released.

Changelog:

* We changed the name to "WPKG Client". This name is more descriptive.
* Rebooting should finally work.
** Still, a change in wpkg.js is needed: wpkg.js needs to end with exit 
code 3010 - WPKG Client will reboot in that case.
** We don't wan't to reboot indefinitely if system administrator made an 
error - WPKG Client will reboot the machine only five times in a row; if 
wpkg.js still ends with exit code 3010, we won't reboot for the sixth 
time. To reset the counter, wpkg.js needs to exit with exit code 
different than 3010.
* WPKG Client should install and work with Vista.
* WPKG service can be now disabled when everything is done (switch 
available in GUI).
* Settings can be imported from GUI and from command line.
* Added WPKG icons and logos - big thanks to Eric Le Henaff.
* Event Log entries get a proper description (Error, Info etc.).
* Some minor changes in the GUI.
* Minor fixes and cleanups.


Upgrading instructions:

If you're upgrading from an older version, you have to add SETTINGSFILE 
pointing to a proper settings.xml file.
Future releases will be able to upgrade without settings.xml file (will 
use current settings).
As always with rc- releases, take extra care before deploying it on 
important machines.


TODO before releasing WPKG Client 1.0 ("final"):

* Modify wpkg.js so that it exits with code 3010 when reboot is needed. 
Sample patches are of course welcome.
* Right now, "Help..." button in WPKG Client doesn't display any useful 
info. This should be fixed before the final release. If you can, please 
help finishing this information - it's located on
