I'm not going to discourage anyone from learning about installers, but
let me just warn you that it's a lot of work to make a nice installer. 
Tim already spends a lot of time on installers that I for one would
rather see him spend on things that the rest of us can't do =).

ActivePython's new installer does 'feature selection', so you can choose
to install all, some or none of Mark's code; it also does the PATHEXT
tweaks, we have an integrated CHM file which includes a lot of extra
docs (the what's new, the HOWTOs, etc.).

The feature of supporting 'file drops' is one we should definitely look
at adding.  It's very mac-ish (that's a compliment! =).
