[Distutils] Windows installer.

[Michel Van den Bergh]

Hello,

I have been looking at the windows installer coming with distutils. It
seems
fine for installing python extensions but not for what I would call
"python applications" e.g. a games. For the end user the fact that an  
application is written in python is basically irrelevant (except that
python 
needs to be installed to run it). 

An application will typically be installed in "C:\Program Files".
Furthermore the user will   expect a desktop shortcut, a start menu
entry and an uninstall program. The current windows installer does not
seem to be capable of installing, let alone generating such things. 

I noticed that there exists a free (as in free speech) installer for
Windows: http://www.nullsoft.com/free/nsis/ which seems to be very
capable. So it would be sensible to have an option "bdist_nsis" and I am
considering writing such a thing.
What do you think? Or is there something flawed in what I say?

Regards,
Michel
