It was not so easy. It opened dependency chains. Cmake build attempts spit out many complaints with every configure. (And now I see the virtue of development builds so I can replicate the errors with precise quotes, but I've already moved far past that. So let's let that one go.

Have you ever posted a query and then regretted it? That's the case here. Sorry. I would be totally into contributing user tutorials . I figured out how to install Terminus with only the minimal subset of dependencies, and it made for a nice virtual console experience. If that would be of use to others, I'd be happy to write it up. Same with ssh.
