It creates a folder .demexp in the user homedir. This folder isn't deleted 
when uninstalling under win32, which is probably good.

Thanks for having saved me the time of doing this ;)

I could probably strip demexp client then, as the debug symbols are 
probably useless.

Yes, I rushed this too much.

Patches attached. Fixed also latex quoted as required which is not really 
the case. I wonder what is now my rank in direct code contributors to 
demexp project :-)

Not that, rather that I'm getting tired of such code quality guidelines as 
"the doc is the code" (and vice versa). Not having read all of README, and 
as configure didn't have an --help flag, it looked to me like this. :)

I've put online an installer available here:
http://christophe.gisquet.free.fr/demexp-0.6.1.exe

A new NSIS script was needed; it is at the same dump site.

btw, it is based on latest win32 GTK+ 'toolchain' as packaged by Tor 
Lillqvist (those packages' .pc files need fixing). It probably means that 
if someone runs The Gimp, he already has installed a compatible runtime, 
not needed anymore in the installer. I didn't check this.
