Thank you for yoour concern and tips for the project. You asked me, what would I do, to conclude the fifth step. I answer your question saying that I need help for that, cos I do not understand very much of the subject. Just enough to have an idea.
But I'm planing to use a program called WBAT to do that(http://home.mnet-online.de/horst.muc/ui.htm#wbat) I asked the author if he could release the source for this program with a diferent license and he said he would like to do that but he the souces are a little bit messy and the compiler and pre-compiler that he used are closed source. Please try that little program, that would be a great alternative for an installation interface .
