    Default create self-extracting zip file thru Cygwin?

    I've been using Cygwin "zip" to compress a directory trees containing Qt projects. Unfortunately, zip doesn't support the creation of self-extracting .exe's, which I want to create now. Neither do:

    bzip2
    lzma
    gzip
    zcat

    ...far as I can tell. Anyone know of any utility to do this, that I can run from a cygwin/bash terminal?

    How about creating an installer? NSIS should be callable from the command line...
