I don't have a problem with bundling pure perl modules.  It's the
binary modules that doesn't make sense.  For ages I assumed that the
OpenFiler perl installation was buggy because there's no way that perl
code should be able to cause the perl binary to segfault.  It wasn't
until today that it occurred to me that there might be binary modules
distributed with SC.

I just figured out why I couldn't get it to run as an unprivileged
user.  It seems that if you hand it '--user' and '--group' flags, it
still tries to setuid and when that fails, it exits.  Remove those flags
and it works right.

It seems to me that, in general, the error-checking could be a little
better.

Here's my first pass at a wiki page.  Right now, it's not much more
than a list, but I'll improve it.
