 We are in need of our own installer.

 From my understanding, right now we are relying on Autodesk to package
 Mapguide OS. This stops us from doing certain things, like having an
 "Upgrade" installation, having nightly builds, etc. From my point of view,
 this is crucial. Without the ability to easily upgrade installations and
 to test out bleeding edge verions, the MGOS community will always be
 debugging old versions (sometimes full versions behind, not just minor
 revisions). This only serves to slow down the development process, which
 in the end hurts MGOS and prevents it from reaching it's full potential.
