Installer scripts and stuff to make GStreamer installer for Windows

1) Follow the http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/BuildGStreamerWithMinGWAndMsys and http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/BuildingGStreamerInMinGWMsys to get the binaries in separate directory (/local/gstreamer)
2) Put libxml2.dll (from http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/) into /local/gstreamer/deps
3) Install NSIS
4) Unpack installer stuff (attached) into /local/gstreamer
5) Run NSIS, choose "Compile NSIS scripts", open the /local/gstreamer/gstreamer.nsi

Remember to keep gstreamer.nsi up to date by hand by copying necessary definitions from any Makefile and by adding/removing files (for both Install and Uninstall steps).

Installer checks for installed GTK. It is compatible with these http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/home/index.php/en/Home installers.

At the moment there is no way to generate commands to add/remove files from Makefiles, but it should be possible

Installer is based on GTK installer script (see above), and a lot of stuff is just commented out.

AFAIK, installer will not rollback changes to environment variables (PATH, GST_PLUGIN_PATH). That should be fixed, i think.

I'm assuming that you're building GStreamer and installer on Windows. I don't know how to cross-compile GStreamer OR the installer, although you can do both.

What should be done with this bug? Is there anything to fix?

I think that NSIS-based installer is not the way to go.
I have other ideas, but i am not sure when will they be realized.
As for the bug...well...WONTFIX? RESOLVED?
