Subject: Windows Installer for Abiword using NSIS

Ive proposed changing the windows installer to NSIS
(again, as it was ignored when i first posted it to the list.
See the numerous comments in bugzilla i made about the installers)
There is no longer a need for Abiword to maintain its own installer (for
various reasons which i went into in detail last time).
the script, and icons and some comments are zipped and attached.
go here to get the Installer system
http://www.nullsoft.com/free/nsis/
i hope to add a directory to CVS with a copy of the NSIS source code.
The licenses should not be changed unless Nullsoft change theirs to
something unfavourable. In the unlikely event that Abiword developers
make improvement to the installer its only fair to pass the changes back
to Nullsoft under the same license we received their code.
There will need to be some changes to remove the Nullsoft branding and
Tweak the Look and Feel of the installer, but i dont have time to do it
at the moment.
