new Feature to NSIS
Hello,

I've wrote some new feature to the NSIS V1.44.
Now i've download V1.96. And it's hard work to implement this feature to the new version.
What are the best way to implement new feature. Is there a way, that
the feature will be add to the original code ?
Here are my feature list.
use insteat of
myRegGetStr(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,"Software\\...\\Explorer\\Shell Folders",name,out);
SHGetFolderPath( ...)
This function can also use COMMON Directory ( for All User under WinNT, Win2000, ...)

a command SetCurrentDateTime to set current datetime to $DATETIME
a new Variable $DATETIME with current datetime
a new Variable $SAVEDIR and a flag '/SAVE' at the command File.
this make a copy from the file to $SAVEDIR, before it will be overwrite.
command WaitNamedMutex MutexName MessageText : wait until a mutex exist. (if an update is started from a application, the use this mutex).
new variable $ALLSTARTMENU, $ALLSMSTARTUP, $ALLDESKTOP, $ALLSMPROGRAMS, $ALLQUICKLAUNCH, ...
a command ShowSection : if only own section, it will show, no autostart.

greetings from austria
