[Plone-installers] Automating installer creation

[Eric S. <em...@ps...>]

Wyn's given me a private Jenkins instance that I intend to use for automating a good chunk of the release process. The Foundation has picked up a MSDN license so we'll be able to get Windows VMs running as well.

I'd like to start some discussion about automating the building of installers. Since I know very little about how you go about generating those, I'll have to defer completely to you on this. What does the process look like? How much can be automated? What needs to be done by hand?
