Comment 2 for bug 616452

I played around with the patch shared in IRC and was able to cross-compile a windows executable that worked in WinXP, and was able to perform a client-side upgrade from within the client. Very nice! I'm willing to commit tsbere's work to trunk, but am willing to wait until after rel_2_0 is branched if other devs prefer that. I'd hope to see it backported once others get a chance to test it out.
