Great! How is the installer itself written? Does it go direct to the 
underlying OS such as GDI or GTK or something on Linux? Or does it use 
the cross platform API components that Mozilla is based on. Finally how 
big is the installer binary, and can it be used to build self installing 
executeables?

Thanks!
