Inspired by T.J Yang, i was thinking of investigating the possibility  
of incorporating WiX support into gnustep-make (in the way that rpm  
support is currently built in) and perhaps his idea of TWW tolls later.

If WiX support was in the make system, we could  build windows  
install packages trivially ... which would be great.
