For now, I committed some changes to at least build the portableapps installer
using nsis unicode, since Gerald loaded it on the buildbot. If we switch to
using the PA.c Installer, then other changes will be needed. Keep in mind that
we create normal Windows installers as well as a U3 installer in addition to
the portableapps installer, and we haven't switch to using nsis unicode for
those, so we still need to keep the nsis and FindProc.dll plugin updated. I'm
not sure switching to PA.c is any easier, but if you think it is, maybe you
could fully describe what other changes are needed or better yet, submit a
patch that details the exact changes required.

I think the ideal thing would be for you to submit a patch that details exactly
what else we need. I know the PA.c Installer requires a help.html file, so
that needs to be created and could be useful whether we switch to the PA.c
Installer or not, but I don't know what else is needed at this point. You'll
have to forgive my ignorance on this as I'm not all that familiar with
portableapps. Perhaps another Wireshark core developer could assist here where
I'm lacking understanding?
