Hi,

 selected features.

* different internal archive options: gzip, lzma, zip, tar.gz etc...

This might prove difficult. on linux, only .tar.gz is guaranteed to be supported. If you want any of the others, you'll have to deploy the
uncompression engine as well.


* Even though the setup is a single file setup, it must support native
 executables. That includes various architectures: 32 or 64 bit, linux,
 *bsd or windows exectubles etc.  Once "full" setup must support all of
 the above. We are considering making a split between *nix type OSes and
 Windows OSes though. After all, this is how it is currently done for
 Linux, Mac and Windows, so end-users are used to that idea.

? Most products I know come in separate 32/64 bit installers.

The ones you mentioned only exist as 32-bit installers, which is why they
have only 1 setup.
