Windows binary package allows one step installation by Jochen Stenzel

Hello,

a new package, PerlPoint-binary-win, is available at SourceForge. It
contains a perlpoint.exe built with PAR's pp that can be used out of the
box, without installation of perl or additional modules, for users that
just want to start. (The PerlPoint::styles package might be added to get
some styles to begin with, like the new S5.) perlpoint is the (new name
of the formerly pp2tdo) converter from PerlPoint::Package that can
produce various target formats.

The downside of this solution is that it does not contain pp2html,
pp2latex and pp2sdf (the converters that do not use the new generator
part of the framework). I'd like to add them but at the moment I need to
figure out how to achieve this in one archive. If anyone knows how to do
this please let me know. As a fallback solution, it would be possible to
release them in own binary packages but most of such files would contain
the same that's in the perlpoint.exe already.

Jochen
