Yes, I did.
mkgmap generated the following files:
63240001.img
...
63240006.img
gmapsupp.img
osmmap.img
osmmap.mdx
osmmap.nsi
osmmap.tdb
osmmap_license.txt
osmmap_mdr.img

Using the .nsi script I created the MapSource Installer MkgmapIndex.exe.

My mkgmap parameters are:
charset=latin1
code-page=1252
series-name=MkgmapIndex
... some more family, area etc. parameters ...
add-pois-to-areas
make-poi-index
net
route
tdbfile
index
gmapsupp
nsis
