Sounds like a very efficient tool to use for Windows then ;-) but I take note 
of what you write Rick, I will study the sections on Windows and see what I can 
do. Next week.

What installers, beside Windows, can be generated directly from CMake at the 
moment? Any more show stoppers there?

The proposed solution currently for Mac is: CMake - make - make install - 
pkgbuild - script to upload to portal

„MY“ solution is CMake - make - make install - script to generate dmg - script 
to upload to portal, the two last scripts can be combined. The dmg and the pkgs 
I am generating are driven by CMake in that they are built by parsing the 
manifest file that comes out of CMake process so they will always reflect the 
changes in the source. Also they come with an uninstall script which is lacking 
in the installer coming out of pkgbuild (and in the „official“ installer for 
4.1.2).

My approach would be to go for a release candidate, prepare as many good 
installers (static) for that version that can be prepared and put them on the 
sourceforge site. THEN continue working on installers for the nightly builds in 
the background. With a release candidate I am sure there will be more feedback 
on things that will go into 5.0.1/5.1.0

The last „official“ installer for ooRexx, 4.1.2 is from 2012 and it is broken 
(install will fail and potentially leave a damage installation behind). The 
official ooRexx site http://www.oorexx.org/ <http://www.oorexx.org/> point to 
this installer and list the documentation from 2009 (!). Further, the link to 
the WIKI there is broken, and and, and. Who will take such a project seriously? 
ooRexx 5.0.0 is a REALLY powerful contribution and the only way to get it on 
the road is to work with what we have and deal with the rest later.  <personal 
reflection> Or the project will slowly sink into oblivion </personal 
reflection>.
