I must admit, I haven't tested your script so far, and since this is not 
currently too high on my priorities, I probably won't anytime soon. But if 
this had existed a year ago, it could probably have helped me a lot, so I 
think this is really nice to have.

I have added a new page on packaging / distributing in the wiki: 
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Packaging . Perhaps you can 
link/place the script there, with a bit of hands-on-information on how to turn 
it into a complete installer.

Perhaps you can base version detection on the files in the manifest-directory?

Regards
Thomas
