Great stuff, worked like a charm here on a W2k box at work even without 
admin rights. This is the kind of stuff we need to get the average John Q 
Public Windows Developer to try GNUstep: Easy troublefree installation. 
This makes the first step to GNUstep a lot simpler.

But I wonder why this is so hidden. It should have a prominent place on 
the downloads page, especially since building GNUstep on Windows is not 
such an easy task as you can tell from the subsequent requests for a Win32 
build guide (I never tried to build it on my own for Win32 because the 
build process and requirements appeared to complicated for me).
