I find myself facing this situation in the not-too-distant future.   
While I don't know enough to answer your questions, here are links to  
MikTeX and a few front-ends that I have come across.  As it may be  
off-topic, I'd be interested if you could follow-up off-list with  
what you & your friend find out.  Perhaps a section of the wiki could  
contain information based on your assessment?
