Since we are doing so many (very welcome) updates to the Calibre software lately - could we also do a few changes to the installer?

For some reason, it checks for available hard disk space. This takes AGES!! It can be a few minutes, and in my opinion is totally uncalled for. Hard disk space is no longer a concern for anyone, I would suggest.

Also - do not check for the version number. Just install. This allows a user to reinstall an older version if so desired.

Just some ideas....thanks
