Ok, here is a better version.

I dropped the Hpricot code for the reasons given in the previous file
comments, and use rexml instead.

I enhanced the WiX source code to add several shortcuts to the Start
Menu, namely: Shoes, Manual, Packager, and Uninstall.

I forgot to say that to prevent your current Shoes installation from
being overwritten, I use %PROGRAMFILES%\Shoes directory. You can give
it a try without having to uninstall anything.

Since I use heat.exe to automatically harvest the current
installation, the Uninstall.exe executable is still present but is
related to NSIS installation, and is not the right way to uninstall.
You have several ways to uninstall cleanly:
1. Menu Start->Run... -> appwiz.cpl -> select Shoes then uninstall
2. Use the Uninstall Shoes shortcut in the Programs Menu
3. Launch msiexec /x Shoes.msi

These 3 ways basically do the same thing, i.e. launch the third command-line.

I will upload a ready-to-use msi package for the lazy ones later.

Enjoy. Thanks for your feedback.
