This article amplifies part of a talk given by MBG at the Strings 2001 conference, Mumbai, India (January 5-10, 2001). The results are preliminary and a more complete exposition will be contained in a forthcoming paper.15 pages, JHEP macros, Strings 2001 talkHigh Energy Physics - TheoryInstantons and BPS Wilson loopstext
