Don't forget windows support! I haven't. Though I haven't tested the most recent changes on Windows yet, I have tested the basic approach under Windows (the code doesn't rely on symlinks, but rather, copies of executables/DLLs). (All Windows testing so far has admittedly been using source builds rather than via a binary installer.)

You should be able to use symlinks even on Windows these days (although granted they won't on portable media that uses a non-symlink friendly filesystem, regardless of OS).

Cheers, Nick.
