[pygtk] installer for pygtk applications on windows

[John Pye]

Hi all

I recently improved the Windows installer for our PyGTK-based GUI
application, ASCEND. I wrote some scripts using NSIS that perform the
job of detecting Python, PyGTK, GTK, PyCairo and PyGObject and
installing the missing bits as required. If anyone is interested, you
can try the installer out:

http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=167528

or look at the installer code:

http://ascendcode.cheme.cmu.edu/viewvc.cgi/code/branches/extfn/nsis/

or read about ASCEND more generally:

http://ascendwiki.cheme.cmu.edu/

Hopefully this stuff will be useful to some other users; I didn't see
any other examples of Python applications for Windows that provide this
sort of stuff. Alternatively, if anyone has any suggestions on ways of
improving this, I'd be pleased to know.

Cheers
JP
