Macaulay2

Starting with:
* windows build of Macaulay2 from http://www.math.uiuc.edu/Macaulay2/
* packaging hints from http://www.commalg.org/m2win.shtml
* using Advanced Installer 3.1.1 from http://advancedinstaller.com/
  I used the professional edition, but a free version is available too.

I packaged both Emacs and Macaulay2 in Microsoft Installer (.msi) format
so we could deploy via Active Directory/Group Policy.

To install, simply open/double-click macaulay2-0.9.2-3.msi.  Emacs integration 
works only if Emacs (msi) is already installed, and Macaulay2 is installed 
to its default location.  To run Macaulay2 from within Emacs, launch Emacs  
then press the F12 key.

NOTE: These packages have been tested only on WindowsXP(SP2), but 
(at least in theory) should install, run, uninstall fine on pretty much
any version of Windows (>= Win95)

I also provide the source and Advanced Installer project (.aip) files:
macaulay2-0.9.2-3.zip

Enjoy.  Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or feedback.
