I'm not saying that this doesn't WORK, I know it does for a lot of people.
The problem is that nobody bundles their stuff up so that OTHER PEOPLE
can use this stuff easily! :-(

I mean, I'm glad you're using it successfully but if you really want
to go the extra necessary step, write a "how to" guide (or, better
yet, the automation) for making it possible for OTHER people to do it.

I know your days aren't exactly 100% full.. :-)
