Hmm. What would be the odds of putting this in as a package? The last
time I tried to install gated (long time ago), it proved to be a daunting
task. Of course, I didn't know as much then as I do now, but the
principle of the question is still the same: for commonly used software
packages, it would be nice to have a package. Is there a licensing issue
that prevents this, or has nobody gotten around to it yet?
