On Windows tinc-up.bat started too soon?

[Hans Voss]

I will experiment (starting monday) with minimizing the setting.

I started with a 'safe' guess of 10 seconds and, since everything on
windows seems slow, it didn't bother me to wait that long. ;-)

I'll let you know.
(Could be made into a configurable in tinc.conf (only on windows perhaps)).
