I've used it to package UpLib for Windows -- see
http://uplib.parc.com/hg/uplib/file/e29e36f751f7/win32/build-msi-installer.py.
I've generalized some of Martin's code to create a Packager class which
supports non-Python pre and post install scripts.  I found it much easier
to use than WiX, which I also tried.
