In 0.7 we should also take a more careful look at how we distribute
Chandler on Linux. Ideally with modern package systems we'd have
Chandler rely on packages already on the system (or installed because of
marked dependencies).

To make this possible we need to do some work with our build system. The
actual packaging of Chandler could be done by volunteers already
familiar with the packaging systems of their platforms. This starts
making sense now that Chandler is actually becoming usable.

Hmm... we currently patch around a dozen of the projects we build. (Some, like Python IIRC, don't apply for Linux). What does that mean for relying on existing system packages?
