There's a couple of things about the Ant output:
1) It isn't in complete sentences.
2) It lists target names even if the body of the target is skipped so on a
Mac install it will still mention Windows-only targets.

For #1, we could just add more "echo" statements and have the installer
only log echo statements.

Or to only fix #2, we could tweak some ant target names to make it clear
they are conditional such as "air-setup-win-if-on-windows".

I would expect them to contact the users list and we'd still help them
there.

And you mentioned we may need to change the way we record successful
installs so it tracks FlexJS and other packages separately from the SDK.
Om, can you do that?

Thanks,
