Nope, the cat is infinitely powerful, because you have full control
over the initial installer.exe that is run. If anything the cat method
plus a custom installer probably has far more power and options than
NSIS ever could have.
The installer I did for Pingus creates icons in the start menu, but
adding a few registry keys is very easy. I would hope to completely
destroy the src/winhugs/register directory and move that logic into
the installer, which is where it belongs.
Thanks
