[wpkg-users] notify - how

My preferred method is to have wpkg call "net start messenger" immediately 
before sending the messages and "net stop messenger" immediately 
afterwards. Not perfect (and doesn't work if messenger is disabled rather 
than set to start manually) but it's a start.

Yours,

Frank
