I use inno setup here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=29557&package_id=57553&release_id=425927
 (the .exe). It has a pascal like syntax, and when
you wanna distribute all files within a directory and wanna call
some .bat files it is very convenient.
It has a build-in 7zip compression.

Wouldn't it be the simplest to just ship all files in one package.
When someone doesn't want some specific libraries he should
do it like a expert and use svn checkouts.
