Roadmap for better integration with Windows

Objectives

• Ease installation of the Tryton-Server for Windows users (client is already okay.)
• Ease setting up a deployment environment. This should allow Windows users to bundle Tryton tailored to their environment using one of the stable releases.
• Ease setting up a development environment. This is quite like for the deployment environment, but uses the in-development branch and checks out from Mercurial.

Milestones

• Create scripts for downloading all requirements
• Enable building an installer package for the server (based on whatever is currently installed)
• Convince b2ck to officially release this server package for each release
• Implement some Control-Panel like the one at XAMMP
• Start and stop the server
• Edit server configuration, esp. passwords
• Improve download scripts to handle different cases (e.g. deploy, develop, fetch Mercurial, etc.)
• Improve setup.py to allow some more build-options:
• path to GTK installation
• include GTK runtime installer instead of bundling gtk libraries
• adjust py2exe "bundle" value for different cases
• Maybe: Move configuration into the registry
• Think about building a GUI (using tk) for the download scripts. Welcome to luxury :-)
