Ambrose:

Your patches are not being lost.  They have all been applied to the
installer in the stable (1.2) branch.  The installer in 1.3 is still the
old installer from 1.2.2.  I was kind of waiting for the new
safe_installer to be used in the 1.3 branch, but I guess I should move the
current installer.pl into 1.3 since more people are looking to test it...
