Sigh, this would imply that (a) postinstall scripts produce valuable exit
codes (or are run with "set -e", so that they bail out at first sign of
trouble), and that (b) setup doesn't rename scripts that didn't complete
normally to "*.done".  Neither is true at the moment.  PTC, of course.

If there's any real truth it's that the entire multidimensional infinity
