[OTR-dev] Help needed with pidgin-otr Windows (NSIS) installer

Now and again, some Windows users point out that the pidgin-otr Windows
installer doesn't know what to do if pidgin is installed in an unusual
place (and doesn't have a registry entry).

Ideally, it would ask the user where it is (in interactive mode) or take
a command-line option (in batch mode).

Does anyone know NSIS well enough to quickly make a patch to the
GetPidginInstPath function in
pidgin-otr/packaging/windows/pidgin-otr.nsi to support this?

Thanks,
