This is the way I work.  I have everything installed except emacs (I
built/installed Xemacs long before FSF-emacs was available).  Every
morning before I start my work day I re-run setup to be sure I have
the most current release of everything.  Periodically I'll check with
setup to see if I'm missing any other packages.

Disk is cheap.  Network bandwidth is cheap.  Not being able to do
something because I failed to download a tool is annoying.
