Maybe you could get Eclipse to make a nice windows installer...;)

On the plus side, only the user starting the server needs the game. So
someone could install it and say "hey, come play this game with me
[announce]".

Maybe we should have a master "game room" with links to all the games.
(This would also cut down on the # of ORT stops...kinda good when there
are a lot of servers up.) There could be multiple rooms for Monthello,
etc, and you could set up an objects sort of like the ORT that "joins"
each room every so often and reports the room status (empty, # of players,
full) every so often.
