that's true and the only times I realize that is when I have to tell ppl 
that know python how to bootstrap their plone environment: I have to 
explain a looooot of things!

I feel confident with all these tools (after years of struggling :P) and 
probably I'm not going to use it, but I recognize that this script is a 
huge kick for starters :) Great work Martin!

BTW, I tested it on a Ubuntu 11.10 and it worked like a charm ;)

Cheers,
SimO
