Hmm, is there any roadmap to converting the ActiveX usage to the MSI,
or is that impossible ?  If we need the NSIS installer for ActiveX
long term then that's a good enough reason to keep it around. If we
keep it around, it seems we should also publish this as part of the
release process, otherwise its not really tested / exercised ?
