I like the reasons behind this suggestion, however I don't think we will
do what this suggests.

There are a few things we can do to make this better. And we are working
toward being able to do them.

1) Code-Sign the application. When that is done you will get a slightly
different dialog from windows, which would show it relates to SeaMonkey.

2) Create a background Service that would handle the install for you,
instead of requiring you to hit "Ok"/"Yes" on startup. This would also
avoid the need for that windows dialog in the first place (in most
common situations). To do this needs at least part of the #1 solution at
present in order to protect against security issues.
