This might look a bit daunting to people that want to try out Leo but
do not consider themselves being a "developer".
Besides, the setuptools' --uninstall option (sorry Edward, there will
_allways_ be some people that don't want to use Leo :-)) does not seem
to clean up nicely.
But installing like this is what I had intended, thanks!

If a /usr/bin/leo or /usr/local/bin/leo executable script is created
that contains
python <root of extracted leo-directory>/launchLeo.py $@
then again, I have my intended situation. Thanks again!
