Of course, you can do this for Windows using Claw (or probably other Windows
interfaces). Usually, its not necessary to "install" or "package" anything
on Windows; this is one place where Windows definitely is preferable to
Linux (but that isn't much of a reason to use Windows, IMHO). I hate the
fact that slow installers have taken over Windows, especially as most of
them do little of value. (The fact that we need one for Janus/Ada shows me
more that we have usability problems with the product than any value for
installers.)
