New beta version of PktFilter:
 - new feature: logging of blocked packets
 - some improvements and many bugfixes

Quick installation guide:
-------------------------

1) Extract the archive (for example, under C:\Program Files\)

2) Install the service, specifying the full path to the rules file and the
logging file

C:\Program Files\PktFilter\pktfltsrv> pktfltsrv -i "C:\Program Files\PktFilter\pktctl\rules.txt" "C:\Program Files\PktFilter\pktctl\PktFilter.log" 

3) Determine the mapping used by PktFilter for your network interfaces:

C:\>Program Files\PktFilter\pktctl\ pktctl -I
