These scripts are based on InstallApp-NT.bat.in and UninstallApp-NT.bat.in from
WRAPPERSRC/src/bin of version 3.5.9 of the wrapper.
Tested in XP and Win7.
The default service path in Windows is fugly and not very convenient. I2P uses
the correct path, but if you want to access snark or eepsite data, one must go to
%SYSTEMROOT%\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\I2P\ (Vista/7) or
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\systemprofile\Application Data\I2P (XP/2003). If
this wasn't bad enough, in some cases one must take ownership of this path and
grant permission to him- or herself to access the folder.
With this changeset, I'm setting the path to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application
Data\I2P as well as adding a shortcut to the I2P folder in the Start menu.
My rationale for this:
1) in case someone is installing I2P on top of an already existing installation
this will cause I2P to be shutdown
2) no hangs during the installation if i2p is already installed as a service
3) in case the NT service settings are changed in wrapper.config by us, this
will force the service settings to be updated.
4) versions of I2P < 0.8.7 did not remove the service when uninstalling. If someone
removed I2P in the past and reinstalls I2P--opting to run as a service--the
installation process will hang.

* Updated the "Active:" peer count to display the # of connections as well
as the number of recently active router identities.
* Implement some basic updating code - on startup, if there is a file named
"i2pupdate.zip" in the I2P installation directory, extract it, delete it,
then restart.
* Added an ugly little script to allow launching the router on win9x
machines without a dos box (using javaw to run a .bat file).
* Logging updates.
* Updated VERSION constants to 0.4.0.1
