Description

From some cursory research it seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to include Growl for Windows in our NSIS .exe package (re: Issue #63).

Reference: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/growl-for-windows/OgML5wG6k4w http://radianttiger.com/2009/06/24/incorporating-growl-for-windows-into-my-appli/

Maybe @CASandmann can take a look?

Research direction
Review the existing NSIS installation script in the repository (likely in the 'resources' or 'scripts' directory). Examine the Growl for Windows documentation at http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/default.aspx and the tutorial at http://radianttiger.com/2009/06/24/incorporating growl for windows into my appli/. The issue references #63 (linked) and mentions assignee @CASandmann; check if there is any existing branch or work. Propose a method to embed Growl for Windows into the NSIS installer, considering licensing and dependencies.
