-bugs is getting inundated with windows installer bugs, and people on
the list don't seem to be replying to them. Can someone with the
installer project add more prominent information about where users
should be reporting installer bugs to? (I'm guessing that the
installer has a bug tracker, but I'm not online right now to check...)
