Totally agree.  

My concern is that if Joe Random Hacker has to go through a tedious 
installation process for TT + a dozen extra modules then it might 
be a real turn off.

For this to work well, I think we need a Template::MakeMaker which 
is built site-local when TT core is first installed.  This should 
encapsulate TT installation dirs for modules/libraries/applications
and so on that require to install additional (non-perl) components.

Unless anyone wants to tackle it now, I think this is something to plan
for v3.
