[wpkg-users] variables (WINDIR, etc)

If you edit wpkg.js, there's a simple way of adding this functionality:

     } else if (checkType == "file") {
         var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");

         // Add the line below here:
         checkPath=shell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(checkPath);

         if (checkCond == "exists") {
             var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

(Apologies for not providing a diff file - too many differences between 
the wpkg.js I run and the distributed one at the moment: Further 
unofficial tweaks are available at 
http://www.sp.phy.cam.ac.uk/~rl201/wpkg/ )

Yours,

Frank
