[osflash] Screenweaver 3 downloads availability

[Ian Thomas]

Hi Matthias,

On Mac, I just use a standard application bundle.

On Windows, I use an NSIS installer. http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page

If it's a big program (which most of them are), it then installs
everything into Program Files, adds shortcuts etc.

If it's a small standalone program, the NSIS installer transparently
unpacks everything into a folder in TEMP and then runs the swhx
bootloader - then deletes the temp folder when finished.

Not ideal, I grant you - a single .exe would make life better for
screensavers etc. But the best I've got at the moment. :-)

Cheers,
   Ian
