Thanks.

Yes, that's the idea, but it would be good if we could finish some
rough edges first.

We are pondering on ways to push/promote these installers to new
groups of users.  Maybe others have good ideas?

The log file should only pop up if there was an error.  If that is not
the case, can you send a bug report?  I think this would be a lot more
clear if the editor would also show the error location (a-la point and
click, or emacs' compilation mode), but I'm not sure if and how
lilypad should be hacked further to support that.

Thanks for the positive feedback, everyone, I'm overwhelmed.  Also,
this gives me a chance to really goof with the upgrade-installer next
week.
