updater: get the signature verification working on Windows
The updater itself does not link to NSS on Windows and instead uses the
Windows-internal crypto libraries. However the mar executable needs to
link against NSS, so we need to split the code a bit.

We can't update any library or executable that is currently in use. For the updater executable we solve this problem by copying the updater before using it to a temporary directory. +On Windows we use the system to provide us with a crypto library whereas on Linux we use NSS. + == Update procedure == The updater executable is run two times. In a first run, the current installation is copied to a "update" directory and the update is applied in this "update" directory. During the next run, a replacement request is executed. The replacement request removes the old installation directory and replaces it with the content of the "update" directory. |
