Installer

Up to now the plan was to use NSIS to build the installer, because it's cross platform; the existing Linux based development cycle can also produce the Windows build. However it looks like it's really difficult (not to mention ugly) to make NSIS prompt the user for anything. The installer ought to be a configuration tool too.

Next task is to evaluate Windows Installer for the same job, if I can find out what I have to download to get the SDK. That is unless I find out how to make NSIS do anything useful in the mean time.
