I like this option. The symbolic link then would need to be updated with the
most current stable version.

Maybe. I've real mixed feelings on this. Hmm... full.exe could be a
"self-extracting" zip file. Then the use would execute full followed by an
execution of setup. Uhm, rather than full.exe how about user-tools and
dev-tools. I've always thought that the full, and user-tools was confusing.
With user-tools and dev-tools you'ld have to get both to have the whole
shebang.
