Hi!

The latest NSIS installer (2.07) changed the syntax of the 
SetCompression setting, making the solid setting no longer default :-(

Without using the /SOLID parameter, current NSIS will now build the 
Ethereal installer about 1MB larger than before.

Unfortunately, using the /SOLID parameter with "old" NSIS version will 
result in the reported error message.

We could:
- force our users (including the buildbot) to upgrade to NSIS 2.07 (my 
favourite)
- find a way to circumvent this (but that makes the script even more 
complicated than it currently is), by adding a setting to config.nmake

I think simply increasing installer size of more than 1MB isn't a real 
option ...
