0.8.0 seems to have "SOFTWARE\Demexp" (doesn't show up in a hg export) as my 
patch implemented.

This question should have been in later mail, but still: yes, and in fact any 
program should benefit from it. Or have trouble with it, as it's added to the 
PATH (equivalent to LD_RUN_PATH/PATH).

Although I leave the reporting to the GTK installer: it should display 
relevant warning (already installed, can't be installed, can't be upgraded 
etc). demexp installer only controls whether it was installed.
