remember previous installer selections, fixes a silly license page bug

I noticed that update.php has not yet been uploaded to the website. This means that NSIS Update will not show 2.25 as being available.


Right, my server is still down, SourceForge had shell issues, CVS still can't be accessed from the shell and aliens have invaded Israel. Manually fixed now. Thanks for the heads up.
