I think you should just release the dll as a test release, it works fine for
me but who knows.....
As for setup, maybe just release it also as "test" package (no source) -
"setup updating setup" ie not for beginners....

Bus. Bus! BUS!
Seriously... I'd hold off on the .dll, but I see no reason not to
release setup.exe. Theres ~ 3-4 folk now who understand whats happening
in there, and if someone at redhat can cooperate if we need to put a new
version up.... we should be able to hold the fort.
