(1) Shouldn't this have been appropriate for the main list, not talk?
(2) This sounds like it might work as a basic for the generic "automatic
install" question that periodically shows up on the main list. Might it
be appropriate for a FAQ or somewhere else in the documentation or on the
web site? (Not that I have tried this or that it matters to me.)
