We should consider making a development exe too for people that want a
full installation so they can use the libraries...  There is probably
enough users that want to do that to warrant creating it?

Do we want a package that contains only the library and header files (like net-snmp-devel-5.2.1-3.fc2.i686.rpm) or one that contains all the executables plus the headers and libs?

I have created a .exe package that contains only the headers and library files, but the problem is if you install it in the same folder as the regular binaries, it breaks the uninstall. It looks like the installer uses the install folder to decide what to uninstall. This means if you install net-snmp-devel-5.2.1-1.win32.exe on top of net-snmp-5.2.1-1.win32.exe, when you uninstall devel, you won't be able to uninstall the regular package.

The alternative is to have the user install to a different folder. I should be able to product a warning if the user tries to use the same folder. This is probably the best option.
