After I installed Thunderbird 0.9 on my Windows XP Professional system, the Add
New Programs control panel displayed both Thunderbird 0.8 and Thunderbird 0.9.
The installer should really remove the uninstall information for the previous
installation if it overwrote the prior version.

Confirmed on Win2k with TB 0.9 (20041103)

I also have TB 0.8 and 0.7.3 in my list.
