[scribus] Windows zip file distribution

[Nuno Pedrosa]

Maybe you can use X-Scribus?

I prefer Portable Apps, too. I need to change computers in a regular basis
and it's a lot easier to have the SW I need in a USB drive I can take
anywhere and run.
I wish that something like that could be done as easily in Linux, too.
