in that case - thanks for your efforts!

seriously, I'd love it if everyone did that. we hear (or used to hear,
anyway) a lot of complaints about complicated setup processes and lack of
documentation but never had the followups on the wiki to fix this. so I
quite appreciate it that you followed through and documented it for others.
