I take that back - it looks like we do support it after all, looking
at our actual NSIS-related code.  We only use the built-in dialogs,
and NSIS provides defaults for those.  I tested a command-line silent
install on a windows XP system, and it worked fine:

tuxmath-1.7.2-win32-installer.exe /S

If you need to be able to pass arguments (e.g. install location),
AFAICT we don't support that, but it seems that a basic silent install
with the defaults can be done from the command line already.

Best,
