Think, it is not supported by this addon.
The right string for dependency names in CreateService is 
"CoLinuxDriver\0tap0801co\0\0".
The delimiter between strings is "\0" and the string termination is "\0\0".
This would not work with the "StrCpy" in servicelib.nsh, I think. StrCpy 
would stop on first 00h.

In other case, you can assume, that coLinuxDriver will faster load as 
the network driver. coLinuxDriver has no more other dependency. Tap 
driver needs a complete network being up. So, adding only "tap0801co" 
would be enough for delaying coLinux startup.
