*Now* I call this patch done, modulo any problems or necessary
changes. The bug tracker now has the "v4" patch, which adds support
for installation types. Each component states which installation types
it is a part of ("Full" install, "Developer" install, etc.). In NSIS,
the installation types show up as a combo box above the component
selection box.
