[ofw] WinOF RC5 available for testing.

[Jeremy Enos]

I see... guess I jumped in too fast before reading.  I was able to 
'update' the driver to my 614 version again and it cleared the flags.  
However, I still don't see any service set up and Windows Open Fabrics 
isn't present in the add/remove programs list either.  Perhaps that's a 
result of my first slip up, neglecting to uninstall the other drivers 
first.  I don't know what the device manager uninstall context actually 
implies though anyway... I can certainly find files still present in the 
OS from the driver I uninstall if I ever do try that route.  I had hoped 
that this installer would clean up the cruft along the way.  (I haven't 
verified that it doesn't yet)

On another host, I did see the entry in add/remove programs after 
install, but still no opensm service listed in services.  It also failed 
to install the driver properly.  The device manager instance completely 
disappeared, and in the Add Hardware dialogue, I can get information on 
the device basically telling me that it's registry entry has a problem 
again.  Perhaps I need to manually clear the registry entries related to 
OpenIB to get a clean start again?
