Astonishing.

"a slightly more compact install system" is to stick it in a tarball, in
which case the complaint will be, "nice download size, but what do I do
with this tar.bz2 file?"

If I take the graphical installer out, I'll get bitching that there's only
a text-based installer. If I take the text-based installer out, I'll get
bitching that the graphical one doesn't work with the version of GTK+ on
their system.

Why don't people complain that there isn't a unified way to do ANYTHING in
Linux instead? That would solve the problem much better...we could remove
half of SDL's code, and 75% of the installer system.
