Hmmm. I thought the install was relatively easy and I an new to WIN32
(have always used OS/2 and EMX). The environment variables are relatively
easy to set once I realized that setting path in the user vars appended it
to the system path. I agree that it could probably have a slightly nicer
install (setting all the evironment vars would make things easier) but
overall, not bad.
