Hi Adib,

yes, Mc worked previously on getting basic cpack functionality in place
and you can already produce a working .msi as you've seen yourself.

As it's still a bit barebones my plan for the release is to review the
settings, ideally set up a few components, make sure
installation/uninstallation works as expected and eventually polish it a
bit with the about screen artwork. As soon as it's in a publishable
state I'll upload beta installers (.exe and .msi) and call for some help
in testing.

Unfortunately I've been caught up in other things lately, which is why
I'm a bit behind schedule, but I've done most of the investigation
already, so it mostly needs doing at this point.

Cheers
Patrick
