I don't think this would lead to any reliable implementation. Intercepting
reboot requests from child processes is not a good idea from my point of view.

This is clearly an issue of the package, not WPKG nor is it to be handled in
WPKG GUI.

It would be a different story if WinSCP would pass a dedicated exit code to
WPKG which indicates a reboot but it is simply initiating a hard reboot by
itself. I don't know of any way to catch such a reboot request in any reliable
way from JScript to "translate" it to a package reboot on WPKG level. If
anybody knows a very reliable way which is well documented by Microsoft within
the JScript API we can discuss it. But as long as there is no clean solution I
stick to the proposal of fixing the package instead by adding the /NOREBOOT
flag.
