Great!

Maybe a quick add to the "Quick FAQ" stating that although not all of the things in the original OCI are integrated, the new MingW-based OCI includes the following prebuilt DLL's:

gdbm3.dll
libeay32.dll
libiconv2.dll
libssl32.dll
pdcurses.dll
zlib1.dll

...which makes things work well after initial installation.  No hunting for and manually installing needed DLLs...Yea!

Also, maybe a quick note summarizing the features these DLLs enable in an out-of-the-box install via the new OCI?

Nice work...don't sell your efforts short in the FAQ! :)

Maybe an option to install devkit at the same time with a note in the installer reminding us to update fstab if needed...or...maybe fstab is templated to use info from the install dir chosen by the user.

Thanks again for all your efforts!!!!
