[Wocky] Gaim / GTK+ installer question

Is there there a strong preference for repackaging the GTK+ installer  
as part of the Gaim project?  Given that this is not the only source  
people will install GTK+ from, and the 2 common EXE installers (from  
GTK+ and GIMP?) play nicely together already it seems like we may  
want to just embed the installer to run silently as part of the MSI  
installation.  Since some users may already have GTK+ installed from  
another source, or may install it later (embedded in some other  
installer), my preference would be to keep the installer that will  
cause the fewest possible support issues down the road.  I don't  
think this should cause any undue stress on domain deployment, but if  
overlooking a scenario please let me know.  I'm working on a beta of  
the installer as we speak, so if you have any thoughts please let me  
know as soon as you can.
