[Cuis] One-Click Installer for Cuis

I've just recently put-together a cross-platform Installation Tutorial
for beginners to Smalltalk.

I was keen to include Cuis in the exercise.

One thing that becomes clear in the comparison is that Cuis is a good
beginner's environment from the point of view of size and complexity
and their bearing in learnability.

It is however, the worst Smalltalk (of the 4 in the tutorial) to get
downloaded and installed.

This seems a pity.

Would anyone be willing to help me put together a One-Click Install
package, similar to Squeak's and Pharo's?

(My plan is to do the grunt-work, if other people are willing to
indulge my noob questions while I do it)

Is there a particular place that it could be hosted, once ready?

Would anyone disagree with a 6-monthly update cycle for the One-Click installer?

(Frequent enough to send a signal to interested beginners that the
project is alive and kicking.  Infrequent enough that there is not
much work to be done)

Cheers,
   Euan
