There's been talk in the past of packaging something else instead of MSIs. Ideally, I'd prefer to keep the MSI installer... but in reality that's trumped by having an installer that someone actually understands and can update. I think the only real requirements for the Windows build is that it ends up in a form that we can distribute without users having to think about GTK+ or Python, and that it's automatable. Everything else is a bonus. In other words, if fixing our packaging story also involves using NSIS or whatever, go for it. I'll be sad about the upgrade path, but I can deal.
