Good news on the Windows Server 2008 front in that openib-windows does
indeed install & operate.

Pardon my ignorance on the .cdf files, I'm assuming they are needed to

If so then I need to include them in the single-file installer
packaging.
Are there 'other' new files which are required to install on Win2k8
systems?
