--- Comment #9 from H. Peter Anvin <hpa at zytor.com> ---
So I released 2.15.03, and merged the changes into the master branch. I believe
it should be in today's snapshot, too. I would love to see your changes.

Are you familiar with Windows packaging? There is a version of the WiX toolkit
(called WiXl) that'll works on Linux now (all the official binaries are
cross-compiled on a Linux host, so it can be easily automated), and so I'm
thinking that moving from the NSIS installer to an .msi package might be a good
thing, in no small part because there NSIS installer for some reason gets
flagged as malware on a regular basis, but also because I understand .msi files
support automatic centrally managed deployment, which can be very important for
tools like NASM.

However, I have absolutely no familiarity with using these tools, and I
understand they need a pretty complex XML file as template. If you happen to be
familiar with these or at least know enough to produce a one-off, I believe I
can handle the actual automation.
