You unzip everything into a temp directory and it all runs from
there. No registry entries (or whatever a normal win32 perl install does),
just files temporarily put into an install directory. We do this already
where I work (which is why I mentioned it in the first place).
I may or may not try it -- time is also a concern for me.
