Subject: new setup

* spaces in user names or home directories should be OK now (but other
  programs may not like them)

* if a package isn't installed due to errors, it isn't listed as being
  installed, so you can try again.

* packages won't show up as "keep" in the chooser just because there's
  a previous version available.

* /etc/profile won't run ~/.profile (i.e. bash will run ~/.profile *once*)

* If installing from a local directory with setup.ini, setup will look
  for files in the paths given in setup.ini *and* in ".".

* Setup will complain if it can't find the .tar.gz file to install.

To get the profile changes, delete /etc/profile and re-run setup, even
if you have nothing to install.
