Yeah, that should work.

The advantage of an installer over .zip files is that it'll work without
an external tool and allows to display a README and the like as well as
creating entries in the start menu and on the desktop (which means we'll
need an icon - cirrus!?). The latter can even be optional. And the
installer will increase the size by a mere 50K, that's nothing compared
to the 10-11M of the actual package.
