You can still use the old method if you like -- a commandline
parameter controls whether it acts as a native service or not. Native
services have advantages over wrapped .exe's -- improved crash
detection and error condition handling, no 3rd party stuff required,
etc. But you don't have to use it if you are happy with the wrapper.

And as far as I'm aware, there is no issue with the native service
support -- it is working fine for me on multiple machines -- XP and
W2k3.
