It seems like this is something that could be easily fixed during the
installation process.  That is, installing Clojure should create a set
of scripts, "clj" and "cljc" that start up the repl (or load a script,
as in the Wiki) and compile Clojure programs, respectively.  The
Clojure jars could be in some central location (say, /usr/lib/clojure
on a standard *nix system), and these scripts would get all the jars &
classes from there into the classpath somehow.

This way, people new to the system could download, do some "make &&
make install" or "ant install" (?) process, and have an immediately
working system with little to no effort.  Does this sound like it
would be desired and/or useful?
