I was concerned, with the end of the month coming up, that we might lose Codehaus access. So I used GitHub's import tool <https://import.github.com/new/> to import the NSIS-Grovoy repo into my space (https://github.com/keeganwitt/groovy-windows-installer). I also used Codehaus's Jira and Confluence to match up the commit authors with GitHub users as best I could. If it looks satisfactory, please delete the existing repo <https://github.com/groovy/groovy-windows-installer>, and I'll move the one I created under the Groovy org.
