No, you miss the point. I am writing a DSL. The point is that "end
users" have will use my library and will write new code; they just don't
need to know that its Clojure that the are writing. So, they need a
working Clojure development environment.

Previous experience has told me to avoid this kind of installation
unless you have to. The script approach is fine, but I dropped this
because maintaining the script is a pain. It's easier just to install
things when you use them. Slowly, overtime, as you change machines, the
things you use rarely evaporate away. So, subversion used to be a very
early install, while now it can take months. 

So, everything else, I install with aptitude. Clojure though. Well,
aptitude install clojure installs 1.1. So, then after I've worked out I
need leiningen, aptitude install leiningen works, but is the wrong thing
to do, because that is old also. Of course, the latter should go away
soon now lein2 is out.

Again, none of this is a disaster, but it's different from normal; this
is also what the OP was talking about. On windows he expects click and
point. 

I shall leave it there. I have a few ideas that I might try and
implement. If there is a desire, things will improve, so long as we
recognise that the situation is not yet ideal.

Phil
