0) booting a Windows system

1) building under Cygwin and checking that nothing fails ( it usually does not
nowadays ).  [ This could be cross-built, although getting a working
set of Cygwin DLLs can be delicate ]

2) launching the NullSoft Installer with input Odos/pari.nsi
(see http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ )

The latter builds the nice graphical self-extracting binary, and I do
not think it is available for any other platform than Windows.

So we can set up an autobuilder, but it will have to be a Windows system
( or a pretty good 'wine' emulation... ). Or find a replacement for the
Installer, which had better be good because I'm rather fond of the NullSoft
one.

As the thing is currently setup, it requires about 20 minutes including 2
system reboots for my poor laptop (which is the only time where I have to
actually do something).

Cheers,

    Karim.
