I've assembled all the libraries and such so I can type "make burncd" in my project directory and it will burn a CD of with the design files and copies of Windows builds of pcb and gerbv and the necessary DLLs. It also makes two batch files in the root of the CD: "open_gerbers.bat" and "open_pcb.bat". These run gerbv.exe and pcb.exe respectively off the CD, loading design files off the CD as well. I figure this is an easy way to give clients a copy of my work, and also is a gentle introduction to gEDA. It's not very GPL-compliant, as I just grabbed binaries off the web (building software for Windows is not something I enjoy). But I could maybe fix it up into something releasable if anyone's interested.
