Looked at your script. Like many people you assume that the end user 
will a) read your documentation and b) go through a few manual steps of 
unpacking and executing the resulting script. I was looking for 
something a little more automated as I have learned over the years that 
given any distribution of even computer professionals, about 70% of them 
will not read the directions nor perform any manual step until and 
unless it becomes a problem (at which point you're called over to do 
they thing for them!).
