Didn't Microsoft recently release some installer tool Wix under the
CPL? More info is at
<URL:http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/archive/2004/04/05/107709.aspx>.
AFAIR, the CPL, while being Open Source, is not GPL compatible.
However, since we are really talking about aggregation here, I don't
think this should be relevant.
I also have no idea whether this thing will actually be useful for our
purposes, but it is probably something worth taking a look at, if it
is a standard way of installing Windows software and at least freely
available with source, even if not under the GPL.
