[bt-devel] InstallMgr replacement - was Idea for BT 1.1 or beyond

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Well,
	an installer integrated into bibletime would be cool.  I don't think a
standalone would hurt either.  We have different frontends to cater to
different users, why not different installers.  You can use the same
remote install mechanism that we use to facilitate the other
linux/windows installmgr.
