Sure. Why don't you bug your favorite distributor until they provide you 
a CD that comes with everything you need on it? After all, that's what 
distributors are for.

I have no problem in admitting that application developers can't do the 
job of the distributors. For various reasons -- the fact that developers 
are precisely "techies" being not the least of them. So, sure, I totally 
agree with you, but it's just not our job to provide the 
one-click-works-instantly packages. That's the job of the distributors. [1]
