[Scott Armitage <launchpad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Configurations in general should be left along by updates; for all the
installer knows, the user may need GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 for something else,
and if the installer breaks it, it could be very difficult for the user to
track down. Furthermore, there could be many different workarounds/hacks all
used in various combinations; it would be very difficult to create a script
to properly handle all of these situations without introducing more bugs.
Instead, the user should be responsible for reversing any manual
modifications they have made.
