It's a chicken and egg problem a bit - how to install something with 
WPKG when WPKG is not installed... :) And wiki does not bite, you can 
put it there safely, I'll edit it a bit if needed.


I think the upgrade won't work... with the version there is currently 
for download I mean :)

I still have to upload a newer version (upgrading should work, and 
passwords in XML settings file is scrambled, so that even if someone 
sees it accidentally, it will be of little use - unless someone knows 
how to unscramble it, that is).
