wpa_supplicant PSK question - update

[Bob Carlson]

I now see where wpa.c seems to have code for the 4-way handshake. I can
also see from your list of files that you are referring to the new 0.4.7. I
am working with 0.3.9, which was the stable one when I started.

Is there any reason why I should be moving to 0.4.7? I have a lot of work
invested in the current code, though it's still conceivable to switch.

Cheers, Bob
