I think what we need is an automated install procedure of some kind.
It would not have to be very fancy, but the idea is that it would be able to do
all of the post processing that is required once the distribution is untarred.
Something like the VMSINSTAL procedure that is used for installing 3rd party
software under VMS. One way of doing this is with a hacked version of tar that
would watch for certain filenames, and execute them as shell scripts once they
have been restored.
Just an idea...
