Hi all,

First working _preview_ of 2.2-RC2 is now available. I've verified that
this installer works on Windows XP (32-bit) and Windows 7 (64-bit):

<http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/releases/openvpn-2.2-RC2-install-preview-3.exe>

IMPORTANT: the included TAP-drivers are unsigned, so Windows Vista/7
(64-bit) won't  load them unless it's in "Test mode":

<https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BuildingOnWindows#Method2:Enablingtestmodeontargetcomputer>

The original plan was to release 2.2-RC2 today, but we probably have to
postpone release date until next week. The most important changes are:

- Turn off ENABLE_CLIENT_ONLY build setting that disabled all server
functionality (turned on in 2.2-RC by mistake)
- Implement IPv6 in TUN mode for Windows TAP driver
- Fix Windows Vista/7 start menu shortcut uninstallation failure

I would be especially interested in hearing whether server functionality
is now working properly. A more comprehensive changelog is attached below.

    Replaced config-win32.h with win/config.h.in
   
    The original config-win32.h - a static header file - has been
superceded by both
    "domake-win" script and the new Python-based buildsystem.
Transformed it into a
    template file, win/config.h.in, which obtains the most commonly used
build
    parameters from win/settings.in.
   
    Added support code to win/config.py and win/wb.py to preprocess
win/config.h.in
    and copy it to config.h, from where source and header files can find it.
   
    Removed all references to config-win32.h. Also removed obsolete
    PACKAGE_BUGREPORT and USE_PTHREAD variables from the win/config.h.in
file.

    Added support for prebuilt TAP-drivers. Automated embedding manifests.
   
    Removed win/make_dist.py's dependency on TAP-driver and
tapinstall.exe building.
    Also added manifest embedding commands to win/make_dist.py. To avoid
duplicate
    code moved the "build_vc" method from win/build.py to win/wb.py and
renamed it
    "run_in_vs_shell".

    Implement IPv6 in TUN mode for Windows TAP driver.
   
    * install-win32/settings.in: bump version to 9.7, TAP_RELDATE to
"07/03/2010".
   
    * tap-win32/proto.h: add data types and definitions needed for IPv6
   
    * tap-win32/types.h: add m_UserToTap_IPv6 ethernet header for IPv6
packets
   
    * tap-win32/tapdrvr.c: implement support for IPv6 in TUN mode:
         - IPv6 packets User->OS need correct ether type
         - IPv6 packets OS->User get correctly forwarded
         - IPv6 neighbour discovery packets for "fe80::8" (magic address
           installed as route-nexthop by OpenVPN.exe) get answered locally
    (cherry picked from commit 175e17a5abd5969f6803a9cc9587b7959e1100ae)
