I wonder if we could use an unholy combination of a CoApp package and https://github.com/erikzaadi/GithubSharp to make getting and building CoApp from source easier. The more I look at our doco the more I think there are too many steps to get set up.

* User launches coapp-supercheckout.msi

* The engine downloads the binary components

* The GitHubSharp component checks out the required files into a sensible location

* The last page invokes msbuild (is this allowable?)

Once we have CoApp packages for Msysgit, puttygen and plink we can look at other interesting scripts.
