Those instructions are obviously Mac-specific (or at least only Mac-tested), 
and they are still a work-in-progress, but the approach should be applicable to 
Linux. It should also not be strictly necessary to sudo the first few steps 
(virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper, and cmake). That was just the most expedient 
thing to do on a Mac and they didn't seem *too* likely to conflict with other 
uses.

Certainly, if you do find them useful on Linux, please let us know, with any 
edits necessary to get it working. Better yet, create a wiki page with your 
findings.

Absolutely correct.
