You could force a 1.6.0.6 client to work with a rel_1_6_0_6 symlink on
the server in /openils/var/web/xul/, but you'd miss some of the menu
options for Booking and I'm not sure what else.

There is a 1.6.1.1 client at
http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/evergreen-setup-rel_1_6_1_1.exe but
I think it'll break for locales other than en-US, due to an error with
the I18N process and the 1.6.1.1 tarball I used to build the client.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XULRunner_tips#Using_Firefox_3_to_run_XULRunner_applications
