This idea is to make Freeseer easier to install on Windows systems via an install script.

Freeseer on windows needs the following to be installed manually.

+ python-2.7.2
+ GStreamer-WinBuilds-GPL-x86-Beta04-0.10.7
+ GStreamer-WinBuilds-SDK-GPL-x86-Beta04-0.10.7
+ setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.7
+ PyQt-Py2.7-x86-gpl-4.8.5-1

Using easy_install we can install the remaining dependencies:
+ C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\easy_install.py feedparser
+ C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\easy_install.py pygtk
+ C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\easy_install.py yapsy

PyQt is actually also in the easy_install repo but I couldn't get it working... If this works we should consider using the easy_install method for this requirement as well.

An extension to this some batch scripts that a user can double click on to start Freeseer from say Start > Program Files > Freeseer would be useful as well.
