This seems to be my fault.  When the source files for the wininst
installer changes in CVS, the binaries (wininst.exe or wininst-6.exe and
wininst-7.1.exe) must be recompiled, and commited to CVS.  The changed
binaries didn't make it into the 2.4a1 installer.  I'll add warnings to
the source files so it doesn't get forgotten again.
