+<strong id="q3">Q: What is required to deliver executables?</strong><p/>
+There is only one data point that I know of with respect to this; I created an Win32 .exe
+using Lispworks. The code is available for anyone who might what to take a look (email me, it's
+not on a server anywhere). The .exe is available too.<p/>
+Key aspects of the design:
+  <ul>
+    <li>I included with the application the Cells-GTK libraries, so that the user didn't have
+        to mess around with finding and installing those.
+    <li>I used the <a href='http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page'>NSIS</a> open source installer 
+        creation tool, which works nicely and, importantly, allowed me to add to the PATH variable. 
+        My software looks for GTK on the path to determine where it was installed. It 
+        then set *gtk-lib-path*.
+    <li>That's it!
+  </ul>
