Re: [PATCH] setup.exe & different archives for the same version of the app

1. I believe this problem is a non-issue.  If setup.ini doesn't match the 
actual file layout, it's a maintainer error.  Pkg. maintainer should fix it.

2. If somebody changed packaging from .gz to .bz2 without bumping the 
release number, it was a mistake.  Easily fixable -- maintainer should 
release new version.

3. didn;t we already have a huge discussion about this whole 
.tar.gz/.tar.bz2/.tgz/.tbz file-extension auto-recognize issue?  Doesn't 
the patch below implement *exactly* the thing we decided *NOT* to do? 
Whatever happened to the "stream-based processing" idea?
