Such a utility may be useful in most cases, but I do not want to have to
mess around with my users' boot blocks at this point. When Generic Windows
is stable enough and is ready for prime-time, then I will have a use for
such a utility. The idea is to minimize the changes done to a user's system
so that uninstalling Generic Windows (name to change later) will be easy.
It's just too risky to modify the boot blocks and then have to put it in its
original state during uninstall.
