Static linking would be a nice option for Win32 builds to avoid the whole DLL/installer issues...

The problem is most Windows users *expect* to get an installer (and uninstaller) regardless if you have a dozen dlls or none. Yes, creating an installer can be a bit of a pain the first time around but once you get things set up it becomes a minor thing, and no less complicated than zipping up your app. They're are also some very good (free) installer creators available such as Inno Setup <http:// www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php> and NSIS <http://nsis.sourceforge.net/>.
