Assuming everyone who wanted to voice an opinion on what installers are
required has done so, the time has come IMO for some follow-up action.
Here are the next steps I'd like to see happen:

1. Someone volunteers to summarise the consensus and list any
   outstanding issues to be decided or further investigated.

2. We select the installer technology. (InnoSetup seems a popular choice
   though I'm not sure if it can build msi-style installers or just
   stand-alone exe ones.)

3. Someone volunteers to build an initial cut.

4. We have a co-ordinated testing effort to validate it on multiple
   OS versions.

5. Someone volunteers to maintain it.

We only have a few weeks before 2.0 ships so I think (1) and (2) need to
be done this week. If you can help, please do so. Volunteering for any
particular step doesn't imply a commitment to doing the others. It would
be nice if someone stepped forward and said "I'll do the lot" but it's
equally fine if multiple people pitch in where the can.

I'm happy to co-ordinate things, including #4, to keep everything moving.
