Comment (by dustin):

 As far as how much to do in the installer: if the installer does
 everything, including setting up and starting/stopping masters and slaves,
 then it will make a lot of assumptions which may be invalid for some
 users' environments.  It's also a lot more work, a lot more decisions to
 make, and a lot more to support -- especially for a project that doesn't
 have a lot of windows users in IRC or on the mailing list.

 So I'd recommend keeping this bug limited to shipping a basic get-
 buildbot-installed installer that is simple and can be maintained by
 someone (me) who doesn't use windows.

 Once this is done, if you want to either make a "turnkey" installer, or
 add options to create/destroy masters, that can be another bug.

 Basically, I'm saying, let's keep it simple to start with.  Sound good?
