Description

In addition to the tarballs already distributed, Cassandra should distribute an exe installer that can install the Cassandra daemon as a Windows service.

Tomcat's NSIS scripts can be used as a reference for the installer: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk/res/
Apache Commons Daemon's procrun would probably be used to create the Win32 service: http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html
