this sounds good, I am also thinking of giving the user options of what irc
client and mail client to install, something liek:

make install MAIL=mutt IRC=epic

so this will install all the stuff I mentioned, but epic as a irc client and
mutt as a mail client.

question is do I accept defaults for those, or give the user some help when he
doesnt specify options?
