Another example installer is ready. This one is for the Postal "Fudge
Pack" disc, which is Postal 1, 2, and a bunch of mods all on one,
dual-layer DVD.
This one was worth doing because it makes good use of filter functions,
wildcards, and nested install options.
Here's the original setup.xml for the loki_setup installer on the disc:
http://icculus.org/mojosetup/examples/postal_fudge_pack/uncompressed_installer_package/scripts/setup.xml
And the MojoSetup equivalent:
http://icculus.org/mojosetup/examples/postal_fudge_pack/uncompressed_installer_package/scripts/config.lua
This isn't properly packaged for installation, I just wanted to give a
view of what the layout would be before you create the final executable
installer.
The duke3d installer is good too, to demonstrate an extremely small
bootstrap that then downloads what it needs at runtime:

Real documentation is forthcoming still, of course, but getting working
examples out there seemed like a good first step in the meantime.
