  Description     : A tool to create installers for Windows

NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) is a tool that
can create Windows installers that are capable of installing,
uninstalling, setting system settings, extracting files, etc.
Other features include: small overhead size, compatible with
all major Windows versions, several integrated compression methods,
script based, more than 40 translations and more.

The NSIS compiler, makensis, can now be compiled on POSIX platforms.
This allows you to run makensis natively, without the use of Wine.
Armed with native makensis and a cross compiler, you can easily create
nightly builds of Windows applications on a *nix server.
