Right - if you plan to call install-mycompany.sh from some other 
installation script (e.g. rpm postinstall).  If not, what's the point?

I agree that using envvars and only prompting as a last resort is good 
practice; if you can tell me where the script might be called from, I'll 
fix it and submit a new diff.

I was looking at install.sh, but I don't think it's realistic to create 
a distribution-independent version of that.  Probably better to handle 
those few tasks in dists/*.

Er, are any of the distro packaging scripts actively maintained?
