Installation done!  Below is an optional install for more features.

-------------------------------------------
OPTIONAL Install - Allow a field to enter notes to the customer that will be included in order email to the customer when order status is changed.  For example, if you want to write a note that order has shipped but some items are backordered when you change the status of the order, this would allow you to do so.
-------------------------------------------

1. Log into your Admin interface and copy and paste the SQL queries in OPTIONAL_patch.sql into the Patch/Upgrade sql utility.  

2. Add this:
{$order.notes_to_customer}

skin1/mail/order_customer_complete.tpl
skin1/mail/order_customer_processed.tpl
skin1/mail/html/order_customer_complete.tpl

{$lng.lbl_dear} {$customer.title} {$customer.firstname} {$customer.lastname},
