XP SP4 v3.1a is available

I thought it might be a good time to make mention here of an unofficial SP4 for XP. The author has said that the latest will be his final update for XP - go here for more information: http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10321
I'm well aware of the fact AutoPatcher is designed for XP with SP3 and I'm also aware that many users will probably opt to update to SP4 once they become aware of its existence.
So, now there is a possibility of someone complaining about AutoPatcher not working as expected because that user has installed SP4.
I would like to recommend, then, that whoever is in charge of the XP updates download SP4 and verify/compare the results with their latest XP w/SP3 system and be prepared to offer suggestions as to issues/problems and compatibility - I say this knowing there is a good possibility of many questions in the future being asked about XP w/SP4 and AutoPatcher.
I've already installed SP4 on my #2 system and I will try to run a test soon to see what happens. I do not have XP w/SP3 installed anywhere else so a comparison is not possible at this time.
