That would be Great for reasons other than the obvious ease of use
factor--the IBEX PDF processor has difficulties with spaces in paths, so PDF
generation isn't fully functional if it's looking in the Program Files
directory for resources.

As of version 2.0 of the Windows installer, no environment variables will be
written except for DAISY_HOME. Also I'm considering making c:\daisy the
default installation directory (instead of c:\Program Files\daisy-2.0.1),
since this will make future upgrades easier.
