I also checked many examples today (from NSIS CVS, NSIS 
website and NSIS forums). I saw that they developed
a CVS plugin, and even an updater for NSIS which 
get the latest diffs and merge from their CVS. 

That may be useful later to update without getting 
the whole package.

It is available there if you want to test it:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/nsis/NSIS/Contrib/NSIS%20Upda
te/ 
(you need to get the .nsi and the whole folders)

I totally agree for the two different versions. For 
maintainability, I will add a constant define and 
conditional code to keep the code for both installers 
in the same script.

I don't know if I should post this in the mailing list, so
if I should not just tell me =).
