Easy Installer for TOR

Hey guys,

I recently installed TOR and was rather impressed by how several pieces of 
software work together (privoxy, firefox, TOR, the little firefox plugin 
for proxy configuration).  I was wondering, however, if it was possible to 
have a "meta-installer" check versions, fetch all the various components, 
and configure them on the fly.  This same installer could then also 
function as an auto-updater for all installed softwares.

I know there's a contest going on to come up with a GUI, but I think this 
installer is equally important.

I know the OSX installer includes privoxy, configured.  Why not the 
windows version?

As much as I'd like to see everyone be AWARE of how this stuff works, most 
of the people I know are more interested in the end result.
