Not sure if I missed something, .. but what do you mean by an all in one 
installer?

I read it as you download one package from http://www.pygtk.org and you 
would get pyGTK, pyCairo, pyGObject installed as one monolithic package.

I ask as I have previously put an NSIS wapper around GTK runtime, pyGTK, 
pyCario, pyGObject installers before, so the one setup.exe package fires 
off  4 separate installers, you still get 4 installation processes 
happening (and 4 sets of confirmation screens) within the bundle, but I 
don't think that is what your talking about when you say all-in-one 
installer.
