pptp-1.0.3 has a lot of the bugfixes that went into our 1.0.2 patch. the
rest are (afaicr) small protocol modifications required for it to work
here, minor debugging enhancements and country specific information.
merging them with the upstream pptp will require either extensive pptp
hacking, to provide a framework such changes can be made in, or some
#ifdef ugliness. the first is possible, the second unlikely to be
accepted (i know i wouldn't accept it if i was the pptp maintainer).
what's required is for someone (probably me, i suppose) to send our
patch to the pptp maintainers and ask for comments, to see what will be
required for inclusion. i should have done it a long time ago, but it
never got to the top of my TODO queue. i'll give it a temporary priority
boost and do it later tonight.
