Description Reini Urban 2004-11-17 19:48:54 UTC 
This patch includes and enables the patch from #554, switches setup.exe to
console mode, checks if the parent is a new console, and hide it then. 
If it already was a console (setup called from a tty) or -h was given leave that
console.

As per recent mailing list discussion, this is a sledgehammer-to-crack-a-nut
approach.

The correct way to deal with this would be to show the options in some kind of
GUI dialog.

I don't view this as a necessary enhancement - at least not at the moment, when
our options are purely experts-only - so I'm resolving-invalid this bug for now.
