Don't forget to incorporate tex-gyre, including otf's! Is the installation really that hard?

The last time I installed TeX-Gyre only two fonts worked and the rest did not.

The point is that debugging when things go wrong takes time and some of us are just too busy to have to to debug every little thing. It seems to me that TeX-Gyre is one of those things that should work out of the box, like lm.

sure, but since they are under development, names change, locations change etc i don't look into it on a daily basis (already overloaded)

I'd rather have a tarball to be unzipped over the directory tree than have a constantly growing 'minimal' installation.

Finally, mswincontext.zip is not really "minimal" but "maximal" ;-) Updates to TeX-Gyre could be supported as a package a la cont-tmf.zip of course.
