Well, I've written one for our project in the meantime. I've tried to
separate the generic bdist_inno code from our application specific code
so I can make it available separately. The current version, just put
online, is: ftp://intevation.de/users/bh/bdist_inno-0.1.py

It's a bit kludgy and unfinished but it works for us. One reason it's
kludgy is that it's for an application and not just modules.

I borrowed some ideas from it, at least. :)
