This installs the last version of all launcher related scripts and binaries.
It contains extra data especcially for BlueflyVario* users. To take benefit of that you may load the file Blufly-Menus.xci in your XCSoar profile.

You will get a new Button BF-Vario with its attached sub menu entries in the XCSoar main menu.
- CAVEAT! This applies also the Data-Isolation-Patch. Your XCSoarData-subdirectory

The Navigation binary is also included, although there are no maps delivered with it.
This is for the Mini only.
