Hmm, how about some kind of install program? I was thinking of doing
this as a generic thing on my spare time, but something that checks if
certain libraries are installed, and if they are not, wgets them or
something similiar and installs them. You might get more newbie users to
come over from windows that way. It seems that all the major commercial
applications come with all the libraries they need.
