Very interesting indeed. The challenge to any MSI generator is the
ability to include user interface in a flexible yet easy-to-use
manner. I'll take a look; off-hand, my criteria list for packaging
tools evaluates like so:
- avoid proprietary packagers: being open source, this is free of
   charge, and we can adjust it if we need to
- support Win64: Don't know, probably not (but could be added given
   that it is open source)
- support non-interactive installation, group policy: all done,
   thanks to MSI
