Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] new installers

I'm thinking about using rake for the cli installer (rake install, with 
other targets for lib-install, etc). But that would mean that the users of 
the installer would need to have rake installed, which isn't part of the 
ruby distro. (although you can do a gem install rake.)

Thoughts?
