Hi, While studying a bit nsis (an open source system to build windows installers), I realized that it would be good if we could detect the target CPU and install the right numpy accordingly. I have coded a nsis plugin to detect SSE availability (no SSE vs SSE vs SSE2 vs SS3), and including installers within the nsis installer is easy. What would people think about including the installers generated with the current method (bdist_wininst, I guess ?) for every CPU target, and distribute the bundled installer ? The only drawback I can see is the size of the installer: in this case, we could have a system which download the right installer, but that would be more work, obviously. This seems like an easy, "not too much work required" solution to the recurrent problem we get with atlas on windows.
