[hpsdr] Mercury firmware update. How?

[Doug Bade]

Forrest;

         I am glad to hear you got through it easily, it sounds like 
my task list is pretty much accurate..
         It is nice to know that the answers are in the README, but 
one needs some prerequisite configuration and software before one can 
read the README :-)
         Then it is easy!

         Unfortunately with XP64bit, Vista and Windows 7 the batch 
files and tools need a little tuning to make work.. but seems like 
most of the users of those OS's are a little more adept at dealing 
with the changes needed to accommodate their particular OS...
