I wrote it because I wanted something which I could compile/bundle in
an automated fashion on Linux and wasn't huge.

I played with the MSI tools briefly but couldn't see how I could get
those features.

But as it turns out the nullsoft scriptable install system has those
features: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/

That's what Lambertus is using to create his MapSource installers:

Using the NSIS is better than the ad-hoc program I've written. I just
wrote it because I thought there wasn't anything else I could use.

So /ANNOUNCEMENT I guess :)
