Summary: Installing a service gets interactive mode wrong.

Initial Comment:
The procedure "InstallService" in "win32serviceutil.py" has  
a parameter "bRunInteractive" meant to allow an installed  
service the ability to interact with the screen.  This  
parameter is not handled correctly, and moreover, there is  
no commandline access to the parameter.  
  
At the very least, a true value for the parameter should  
cause SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCES to be or'ed into  
the *service* type not the *startup* type (as the current  
code does).  This can be found in MS's documentation of  
CreateService.  
  
I've included a patch (on the version of win32serviceutil.py  
in Python2.2) which does the above as well as adds a  
simular parameter to ChangeServiceConfig.  Moreover it  
introcudes a new command line arg --interactive which  
allows a command line option to set the flag on both  
service installation and update.    
 
I hope you find it useful.
