[Rwp] about the installer

[Chris Belle]

Crazy windows for ya ha.
Well,
I was able to extract the dll files easily enough from the installer 
with 7zip,
that takes care of that part, but the keymap would be good to have as a 
real keymap and not an .ini so I could update my own import the new 
additions and not zap my own experimentation or additions 'grin'.
I don't suppose
it'd be as easy as renaming the .ini file to a keymap file and importing 
it huh?
This would just be a temporary
hack till you got things sorted out of course.
