• your input about "c:\*.ok" (users doesn't have write access) will also be implemented.
  will high on our priority list.
  Changes to it gives us also input for document attention for KiXcheck. KiXcheck returns
  an ERRORLEVEL value which can be used instead of checking 'cookie'.
• 'cookies' doesn't have any relation with previously iexpress packages. The only impact
  can one unnecessary update installation. Contents is only usefull for debugging reasons:
  - which files were installed or updated
  - where are those files located
  - which type of package was installed
• the /Q switch by package usage is based on the documentation from Microsoft.
  We doesn't see also no difference.
• your idea about CRC for KiXCheck we like and will be implemented in a newer release.
• your idea about snapshot to make KiXCheck flexible we like also. During above re-
  design we will implement this too.
• finding duplicates of KiXtart files with KiXCheck may this verification phase
  slowdown. Searching through all directories cost in our opinion too much time.
• KiXCheck must stay backward compatible when we add switches to it.
