[wpkg-users] Notify user only if software is installed

Hi,

I traced the problem a little bit.

I included an info('<number>') line before every notifyUserStart. It 
seems the problem occurs, if a software  which is already installed 
(manually by starting setup) on the system is also available as a package.

This software is not considered installed, because it's not in the local 
wpkg.xml settings file, so wpkg tries to install it, but then he 
recognizes with the <check condition> tag, that the software is already 
on the system, so wpkg says "Bypassing installation...". He does this on 
every start of wpkg.

Putting the Package entry manually from packages.xml to wpkg.xml helps.

So an option for wpkg would be great to take over a package in the local 
settings file, if the <check conditions> meets, altough the installation 
has been bypassed.
