Jacob, will you please stop this. There was no rationale for using Ruby 
in the installer other than "Jacob likes Ruby." Changing from Ruby to 
shell script made the code simpler and smaller.

Jesse, offhand I think there would be a long shot to use a whole 
language for simple things like configuration files, but if you feel 
strongly definitely do argue your point in an article.
