I actually did some manual tests on XP

At some point a bug slipped in which didn't trigged the GPL "warning"
anymore.  I fixed that yesterday and should do that also for 1.2.4.

No.  The rndw32 is under the GPL and has been contributed by Peter
Gutmann.  I have currently no need to change that.  Thus I have not even
considered to ask Peter whether he would change the license.  Feel free
to ask him.
