Yes, that's what I want to implement! An installer that can be used
also from "newbes" without any knowledge of CP and their manual-
download and install!
If you can link me the CP websites I can add all them to the on-the-
fly download process (you any release of Hugin can be provided "clean"
The only one "issue" is that a binary version of Hugin must be
provided in advance..

i've added that "feature", it shows up only if one/many CP generators
are selected to be installed (the disclaimer is displayed before
downloading them)
I'll publish it on my blog soon
