The change has some limitations but at least I've added support for msg.exe to
WPKG. Please note that you need to trim down the message to less than 256
characters or it will be silently ignored by msg.exe - sorry, this is Microsoft
limitation.

Change description:
NEW: Added support for Windows Vista/7 msg.exe-based user notification
     (replaces "net send" messaging on those systems). Unfortunately there are
     some limitations. For example the message is ignored if it is longer than
     256 characters. So be aware and update your config.xml as needed.
     A new option to define a timeout after which the notification disappears
     automatically on those systems has been added (notificationDisplayTime).
     This defaults to 10 which will make the message to be automatically
     discarded after 10 seconds.
     Adresses report 171. Thanks to Ralf Lederle.
