 Well, this bug is 11 months old, so that's not very fast :)  Also, NSIS
 requires additional software on the build host, while MSI doesn't.  So if
 we use NSIS we'll need to figure out whether to build it on buildslaves,
 or have you build things by hand for each release.

 That said, I'm happy with whatever solution can meet both of these
 criteria:

  1. done
  1. functional
