The 2 dialogs are different things.
- The setup is a wizard-like dialog
- The options is a normal direct access to all options dialog

There are other applications, with have a wizard and and option page.

Often though the wizard is part of the installer. But that makes no 
difference, it still holds that the wizard gathers the same info, that 
is also in the option dialog.


I am very much in favour of keeping both. And each with the layout it 
currently has.
