Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:3 mikeperry]:
 > mcs, brade: Did we verify that this code won't cause any issues with our
 updater?

 We do not think it will cause any issues with our updater (the changes
 mainly affect users of the maintenance service, which we do not build as
 part of Tor Browser). However, it does introduce a dependency on a couple
 of Windows crypto DLLs that previously we did not have, and it adds code
 that will not be used in Tor Browser. Kathy and I would rather put in
 #ifdef's to skip all of the new stuff if we have time to do so, but we do
 not have a patch in hand yet.
