= Creating the NSIS installer =

You can use the buildsystem to create the NSIS installer for Windows, even if you're building on Linux. The process is as follows: 

 1. Create binaries using openvpn-build/generic.
 2. Create tarball for easyrsa from master (temporary) files should be at easy-rsa-2.0.
 3. Create the installer using openvpn-build/windows-nsis.

I did not add the UI stuff, I think there should be a discussion why
these are embedded.

Alon.
