I think I got it sorted most of the way.  There's still an opportunity to 
figure out where to place the stanza on first install, and I can see it 
being done by wee_config when it changes drivers but am not quite sure how 
to pull that off in the install.py.  It could also likely go into 
wee_extension source to detect if it's a driver but I'm not quite good 
enough with python to pull that off.  

If anyone would like to peer review/look at the installation instructions 
or source feel free.  https://github.com/livysdad27/tempestWS is where it's 
at.
