Well, I'm not sure we want to use a script for that. I think we're going 
to have two options: a completely documented step-by-step tutorial on 
the wiki based on building from source, and a set of binary packages for 
some common Linux distros that let you just install the packages and 
move on.

The build-from-source method will be preferable for people who want to 
dive in to the code itself, for everyone else, binary packages would 
suffice. My concern with scripts is that they can't anticipate every 
possible thing that could go wrong, and if something does go wrong, the 
user isn't in a position to try to figure it out because they just 'ran 
the script'... they don't really understand what it is doing.
