Now that I think about it, I wonder if we could get into trouble if there are
multiple versions laying around. It would be a little cleaner to modify
src/chrome/tools/build/win/create_installer_archive.py so that you could do:

%(ChromeVersion).manifest: %(VersionDir)s\

This may be as simple as adding:
  variables['ChromeVersion'] = current_version
on line 179 of create_installer_archive.py

Hrm...For some reason wild cards (*.*.*.*.manifest) seem to work, but variables
(%(ChromeDir)s.manifest) do not -- thoughts?

Could it be that the script only currently expands variables on the RHS of these
expressions?

I think you're right. Grn. So much for that idea. Looks like the choices are:
1) live with this
2) put a hack in create_installer_archive.py's CopySectionFilesToStagingDir to
special-case options that are variables
3) modify create_installer_archive.py so it doesn't use python's ConfigParser
4) rewrite create_installer_archive.py so it doesn't use this ridiculous file
format from the early 80s

As long as we don't accidentally ship builds with multiple versions' manifests
(the installer automation test suite should be given the brains to verify that
the elf and manifests are preset, BTW), then this is okay as-is.

That appears to be the case. I've changed it so that this file is added to the
config manually.
