people at irc discussed about windows installer for nullpomino.
Nsis was suggested but i prefer Inno. It's not very flexible, but easy
to use.

I made this installer:
http://toj.mooo.com/tmp/Nullpomino_7.5.exe

Everything is pretty much default, but I changed default path from
Program files to system drive, because windows vista/7 don't allow
user to save files in program files, so config files would be stored
in app data\local\VirtualStore, and i think it's quite confusing. We
can use systemddrive\games path if you like it better.

let me know if you have any comments about this installer.

Great work Wojtek. I think this is a brilliant way to help expand
NullpoMino.

Will you be updating the version? I prefer that you use the current
official version to avoid confusion from the nightly builds and to
avoid constant updating.

Unless you will update the installer to work with the nullpo.it.cx
server when the version updates.

I plan on adding this to the weebly site in this manner:

Downloads > Windows > Your installer
Mac > zip
Linux > zip

I plan to make one for 7.5 release, unless something else is suggested.

Yes, installers are of course only meant for official releases, such
as the upcoming 7.5.
Also just as a big DISCLAIMER: please, nobody get the idea to somehow
give the above link out for someone to actual install the game (apart
from installer testing of course).
Next thing you know, this get's somehow passed along between people
and we have a half broken nightly build version of 7.5 floating around
with an "official" installer, no good.

linux scripts should not be included in this version.
