Oops:  I have to mention that Leo's binary installer should now set 
associations automatically, now that the bug in Leo's NSIS script has been 
fixed. The docs now start with the following::

**Important**: Leo's binary Windows installer sets file associations 
automatically, so this section is needed only if you are installing Leo 
from a .zip file or other sources.

One more (debatable) topic.  Matt proposed three scripts in the following 
threads::

- Leo script to register .leo files with Windows.

- Leo script to set .leo association (Windows).

- Leo script to (almost) set .leo filetype icon

I am not wild about distributing such scripts.  The scripts themselves are 
prone to bugs, and we will then have several more confusing options for 
newbies.  I understand the desire to automate the process, but imo that is 
what the binary installer is meant to do.  YMMV, and I'm open to discussion 
on this point.
