That's not helpful. When a project doesn't release a new version, some people
say "Oh, don't use it! They don't release new versions!" When a project does
release a new version, some people say "Oh, don't use it! It's not perfect
yet!"

Meanwhile, the so-called reliable state of the art is a jumble of Perl which
writes cross platform shell scripts to install Perl code, and you customize
that by writing a superclass from which platform-specific modules inherit
pseudo-methods which use regular expressions to search and replace
cross-platform cross-shell code, with all of the cross-platform and
cross-shell quoting issues that entails. I wish I were making any of this up.
(I wrote tests for part of it.)

This is why we can't have nice things.
