Re: Welcoming Brian Dessent as setup maintainer

Brian,

I noticed one thing, perhaps this was intentional: the "Just Me" and 
"DOS/text" options stay at the bottom of the option group when you 
resize or maximize the setup window.  It looks a little silly, but if 
that is the intent, then it is fine with me :)

The addition of the manifest makes the gui look really nice.  Thanks for 
the tip by the way, I used that idea to refresh the gui of an app I am 
working on.  I had no idea it was that easy...

Oh, as a side note, it is pretty hard to find what I am supposed to be 
testing in this snapshot release for two reasons:

1) The email subject was not changed, so I have to dig through 
"welcoming..." messages to find it the announcement

2) There were no changes mentioned in the announcement, just in the 
thread history, which means that I have to essentially study before I 
can test and verify that things seem okay.

I suggest sending an email with a new subject, even for these snapshot 
releases, with a recap of changes.
