We just need to:

1) Make sure the wizard starts iff it appears the required
infrastructure is present or make it responsible for installing that
stuff. BTW, we now install a lot of stuff way before actually
needed--taking a long time to get the wizard up.  I'd like to explore
installing things like SIS on-the-fly, i.e., when the bits are actually
needed by the wizard.  A proper set of per-step prerequisites would
solve a lot of new-distro problems, e.g., like the ones I repeatedly
tripped over with MDK.  I've been contemplating something that captured
the "use" statements, either pre-parsing or just looking for error
messages.

2) put the wizard, or a link, into /opt/oscar or on the PATH somewhere.
