Yeah, you're absolutely correct about the different approaches thing. I was just throwing in my two cents since I've spent a lot of time thinking about how software installation is done in general, and on Mac clients in particular, in the last several years.
I prefer the stow approach because it lets me do the same thing for Ruby, Perl, Python (I need all three daily :( ) as well as other software I acquire or write, without needing to really learn the vagaries of RVM and the like. I didn't mean to derail the conversation away from your documentation, sorry about that.
