I'll have to join Daniel Carrera in complaining. What is really the
point of this multi-step procedure?

* Of all the packages using it, how many even *need* configuration?
* Why the middle step with setup, can't this be done in either config or
install?
* The required order of these steps is not obvious to the user.
* When they break I've found it hard to find out why.

I think these install scripts are the only Ruby-related thing I have so
far cursed out loud at while using. :)
