Hi Steve and Mike,

Thanks for your feedback.  See my responses below.

No.  I have attached the Installation file.  I'm not sure if that
works / how to do it under Windows.  AFAIK, the only knob to twiddle
is the INSTALL_DIR parameter in the nt/config.inc file, and again
AFAIK, that must be set to something.

The -no-autoloads question is a good one; I've asked Sean to test with that.

I don't build the packages on Windows (my masochism only goes so
far!).  I download the packages and include the tarballs in the setup
kit.  The ones the user elects to install get uncompressed on the
target system.
