+1 for Peter Stuge.

It's not only the IQO population which wants a one-click installer.  
Especially as your symbols are published already, what's the point of  
a local-only installer?

In case you manage to publish a working one-click installer for  
Windows, I can pretty much promise a new gEDA user every week. That's  
about how often I receive moans about gEDA's usage quirks from  
Windows users. My own designs are gEDA only.
