[wpkg-users] Silently drop a package

[Vladimir Psenicka]

Upgrade (increase revision number) package SU1 without upgrade command
and remove command, then remove package from profile:

example:
> <package
> 		id="SU1"
> 		name="SU1"
> 		revision="2"
> 		reboot="false"
> 		priority="10"
> 		execute="once">
> 		
> 		<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\blabla...'>
> 			<exit code="3010" />
> 		</install>
> 		
> 	</package>
