Max,

I can almost fix the bootstrap with the following sort of modification:  We
ask the user "Do you still have the apple-supplied perl or has it been
replaced with perl 5.8.0?"  Then we remove either storable-pm560 or
system-perl580 from the set of files in the 10.2 directory, and the
correct one will automatically be installed.

Unfortunately, this will still require one response from the user in
the middle of the bootstrap: a question of "the following additional
package will be installed, OK?".  I can't specify in Bootstrap.pm which
of the packages is being installed, because I don't know until the
user answers the question.  

Hmmm... maybe I can replicate the behavior of the "--yes" flag in Fink,
so that the user doesn't have to answer...

In any case, the change here will be a 10.2-only change, and we'll have
to make different cases for 10.2 and 10.3 bootstraps, most likely.
