Subject: [PATCH] Help Prolific refugees to understand their hostage situation

This attempts to warn Windows users who have had their devices
poisoned by the Prolific driver heist of the problem and the
workaround. Hopefully this will prevent users from opening bugs
thinking that CHIRP is at fault.
