InstallShield.  Actually, IS did something fun - the modern versions pull
everything from xml - so it's not to hard to bump versions, etc (but adding
components or files to the package requires the full version).  To just
roll a package, IS has a build-only flavor of the product, which can
probably be correctly licensed to liberally let the various committers to
roll the project.

But just about every .msi packaging solution is just a bit short of one-
answer-for-all.  Even httpd's doesn't use IS's script, vbscript etc, but
we actually rolled in the whopping 135kb windows AWK interpreter to rewrite
the post-install files we wanted.
