for future discussion:

a) adopt building guide (on https://openvpn.net) "nsis3 is required...."
b) add "Unicode true" to openvpn.nsi + comment that + provide link to web
page "a)"
c) check every nsis plugin whether it supports unicode
d) release installer
...
z) split installer into several language files + choose language
automatically (I also do not like manual language selection)
