I'm against the online-install thing. I guess I'll tell my users to install
Distribute, which I guess is not too bad since I have to tell that only to the
users who install from source and not from binaries. Which leads me to my next
point: When creating a binary with Distribute, will it install Distribute
automatically on the user's computer? I would like it to.
