 > I don't see an advantage here.  The user can just leave the express
 targets he doesn't want alone.   Why disable some (but still show them
 grayed out)?  And some might even want both desktop and webgis (eg. to use
 QGIS to export mapfiles and mapserver to test them).

 The OSGeo-Japan community has held many workshops using OSGeo4W and this
 change was a result of feedback from the users.
 I do see your point that there is not much advantage, but it does help new
 users who might not know the different OSGeo projects.

 The GDAL express target is for installing the command line tools - so it's
 neither Desktop nor WebGIS.

 This patch does list the GDAL commandline tools in both Express versions.
 I see no problem with that (the user can unclick to remove if they wish).
