More gossip:  Tcl has at least a half-dozen common ways
to make installations (in principle, they're in <URL:http://
starbase.neosoft.com/~claird/comp.lang.tcl/tcl_compilers.html>,
although that page is uninviting for a person pursuing this one
topic in isolation).  None of them are sufficiently common to
encourage adoption into a Python distribution.

Installation is something our industry doesn't yet come close
to getting right.
