Subject: Inno Setup installable version of Windows build

OK, I've taken this version and packaged it up with Inno Setup (the
script used is attached if anyone wants to give it a try). It can be
downloaded from http://maxima.sf.net/maxima-5.9.0rc-install.exe
Hopefully this will make testing a little easier, and we can avoid the
annoying geocities bandwidth limits :-)
WARNING WARNING WARNING This is NOT a release, or anything that should
be widely distributed and used. This is for testing purposes ONLY.
Another will be created once 5.9.0 is actually released, which will
appear in the sourceforge download area.
Let me know if there are any problems with the install - this version
should also have a working uninstall feature in the start menu. The
icons are awful, but I wasn't able to convert the new one into a valid
icon format for windows - anyone have any good ideas there?
This script is a bit hacked, to handle the path requirements of the
current version.
