I saw you released a new installer the other day. Thanks Joachim! I'm not sure the exact date your Codehaus SVN repo will be taken down (they said they were going to take projects down from April 2 to May 17), but we should get your source moved to GitHub soon.
I only briefly looked at the source, I'll start digging a little deeper. We probably don't have a license anymore (or if we do, we soon won't). There are a few other options out there (though I've not used any of them to know how good they are): IzPack <http://izpack.org/>, WiX <http://wixtoolset.org/>, and Inno <http://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php>. Other than the cumbersomeness of getting all the module directories set up (which maybe we could improve, I'd have to give it some thought), what dissatisfied you about NSIS?
