Great, actually I'm suprised you needed to change not more. I've never tried 
building an MSI Package and there were lots of changes since the msi script 
was created.

Awesome. It would be great if you could document that either in README-msi.txt 
or under wiki.gnupg.org. Just compiling it on a GNU/Linux system completely 
might be enough for us to decide to provide this as an alternative Package 
with each new release. We'll have to discuss this, but there are people 
favoring msi or at least having it as an alternative. [1]

Thanks. The four patches you've sent I find pretty clear though and I'll apply 
them. If you have some more controversial patches you should send them anyway, 
maybe someone else has an idea how to fix something in a better way.

Imo we should document them in src/README-msi.txt

Thanks!
