    Ugh.  I don't always (or even usually) want to deal with packaging a 
full-blown application RPM, or deal with such issues in the Win32 
world.  Most of the apps I write are small, specialized utilities that I 
distribute to team members via network shares or even email 
attachments.  I just want you to be able to double-click on it and do 
your thing, toss it in the trash when you're done with it.  I can't 
believe that such requirements are THAT off-the-wall.
