Also minor stuff should be fixed as it gives a bad impression to users. Moreover 
such things are easy to fix so there is no excuse for not fixing it.

Actually I would like that more such minor things are reported since it's a sign 
that people focus on such things rather than having to deal with serious issues.

Changes included in next release:

Changes 2011-08-02, v1.2.1-RC7 by Rainer Meier <r.meier (at) wpkg.org>
NEW: Added extended host attribute matching support for the following package
      notes:
        <depends />
        <include />
        <chain />
        <download />

      As a result the following nodes cannow deal with extended host matching:
      In hosts.xml:
      <host name="..." proifile-id="..." os="..." ... />
      <variable name="..." value="..." os="..." ... />

      In profiles.xml:
      <variable name="..." value="..." os="..." ... />
      <package package-id="..." os="..." ... />

      In packages.xml:
      <variable name="..." value="..." os="..." ... />
      <depends package-id="..." os="..." />
      <include package-id="..." os="..." />
      <chain package-id="..." os="..." />
      <download url="..." target="..." os="..." />
      <install cmd="..." os="..." />
      <upgrade cmd="..." os="..." />
      <downgrade cmd="..." os="..." />
      <remove cmd="..." os="..." />

FIX: Fixed start notification text in English LCID specification in config.xml:
      From: ...Plase safe all...
      To: ... Please save all...
      Thanks for Jeff Applegate for pointing this out.
FIX: Fixed long execution run times if many short-running external commands are
      invoked. For example if many execute-style checks were invoked and each
      check finished its task in less than 1s time, then WPKG would wait at
      least 1 second for it to finish. Unfortunately WSH is not very advanced in
      handling child processes but the algorithm has been changed in a way that
      for the first 100ms of run time the child status is checked every 10ms.
      For the next 1000ms the status is checked every 100ms. If the task is not
      finished by then the task will be checked for termination once per second.
      This allows short-running tasks to terminate quickly while preventing high
      WPKG load for monitoring on long-lasting tasks.
      Fixes bug 233. Thanks to Malte Starostik für suggestion.
