I guess it would be harder if you didn't have a windows os.

If you _did_ have some win32 os, then it would be trivial since you
could just install it from the download, and open the resulting EXE in
a text editor. If you search for 'require', you'll eventually find the
section with the code in plain text format (it's preceeded by a bunch
of junk - non-plain text).

So the EXE has the source code in plain text... but like I said in the
beginning, it'd be kinda hard to get at it if you didn't have access
to a windows box.

I wonder if there is a tool for *nix os that unpacks a NSIS generated
installer... there probably is, but I haven't looked around.
