Package management?  On Windows?  Surely you aren't talking about
that silly "Add/Remove Programs" control panel that just destroys
your machine.

I do know the best way to uninstall dependencies on Windows is to
boot a live Linux CD and `mkfs /dev/hda1`.  But as far as installing
things go you pray that your vendor has packaged everything you need
in their shiny click-through installer thing, and if they haven't,
you cry wolf and switch to another vendor.
