It took me some time to get back to this one, and just applied the
patch removing the scripts.

At the end, I have gone with the addition of a subsection named
"Visual" for now in the platform-specific notes, keeping all the
information originally in install-windows.sgml the same.  A proposal
of patch to clean up the docs is on my TODO list for the next CF.
