Right :). The primary benefit I see in having separate installers for
the OpenVPN-GUI, TAP-driver and easy-rsa is the possibility of
installing and upgrading each component separately more easily. It might
even be possible (=have not checked) to have the "OpenVPN Windows
installer bundle" fetch the latest dependency installers from predefined
URLs prior to installation and fallback to included ones if that fails.
Not sure if we want do that, but it's an option.
