this is cool. the bash 1-liner with curl (or also add a wget one too maybe?) is
awesome. :) the only thing that could be is... shorter. :) that'd require that
url to get very short. perhaps in future we can have the bootstrap.sh mirrored
on www.enlightenment.org? or download.enlightement.org so it's

  bash -c "$(curl -fsSL http://download.enlightenment.org/efler.sh)"

dunno if it matters. but if its shorter, it's less scary :) but later once this
has matured a bit. :)
