[Unattended] unattended feedback

After a long time with no use of my old unattended setup, I check it
again to install some applications on a windows 7 64bits laptop. (no
system install)

first, I switch my scripts folder from cvs to svn (yes, fairly long time
in dust), doing a script-update, a prepare, get unlink.pl.

Now, few feedback on this


=> general
* openoffice
move extension to an openoffice-ext.bat
see other useful one (template + ext) like

http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/modern-impress-templates
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/WriterRotationTool

* option to select system where we want or not the updates.
for example, for now, I use mainly unattended for applications install,
less for OS so I don't want to download all system updates or office one.

something like "skip=winxpsp3 ws2k3sp1 office2003" in prepare script, maybe.

* miss a script for Microsoft Security Essentials, Keepass

=> I fear the %ProgramFiles% / %ProgramFiles(x86)% is a larger problem.
don't know why microsoft chose this way and not x64 which is more specific.
a global var like WINVER could be useful.
