Discussing the 3.0.0 branch(before going stable)

Very minor, and most likely cosmetic only but if you continue to do "official windows build" could you use the installer like fszymanski? If only just to look more professional. Or maybe there was a reason why you don't use the official-looking installer...?

It would be very good to agree on a single installer script. I can use NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) or Inno Setup (this is not a problem for me). I decided to use Inno Setup only to be compatible with @mkdib (at the time the official Windows maintainer). We could develop some installer "guidelines" (for the benefit of users and future Windows developers and packers).

P.S.
Nice How-To guide @Dayman (for dummies - in a good sense of the word).
Very useful for newbies who are trying to make their own builds at home.

I don't know if this is a bug or by design. Please confirm or comment. RC4

Hey guys just my thought on the installer script issue. I am positive on the "unified" approach. Also in the next ~15-16 days I am going to serve "real world" obligations which don't allow me easy access to pc+internet(+compilation tools). I will present my opinion/solution on the installer-script after that period.

Also I will make a proposition(after said period) to Chris to consider making fszymanski and Dayman  official Windows' maintainers too(if they want it). This basically means access to uploading builds on sourceforge.net instead of uploading it to another site. But I need to clarify one thing: I don't have any saying on what Chris decides. He chose me as a "Windows package builder" one day unsupsectably. I just happened to make(at that period of time) mingw32 builds of qbt and resovle+report bug reports(+ make some patch requests) AND the official maintainer was busy(I guess) and didn't upload new builds.. I never requested personally to become a Windows maintainer(although I thank you Chris for the proposition). Furthermore, I want to make a request to Chris to make the edition of the wiki public or at least allow me (and maybe fszymanski and Dayman) to make edits on it, for the purpose of writing down/documenting the way of building qbt on windows.

As I said I am very positive on all of this BUT I want only one thing from you. After those ~15-16 days when you see some activity from me, please notify me(via pm or message in a thread) on this promise I made today. I am a man and I forget.

I'm not sure if Dayman was volunteering to build windows builds but huge thanks to him for documenting seemingly step by step for anyone interested in building themselves.
fszymanski builds follow the installer from mkdib, other than that I'm pretty sure both your builds are essentially the same program.
I would support Chris' decision on either one or both them becoming official windows builder/maintainer. We do need at least one active maintainer for our windows builds though. The past week has been impressive and I'm excited for 3.0 already.
