Well that would certainly take up less room in my DropBox folder... I'm
planning to learn enough ruby that I can fork the HomeBrew repo at GitHub
and add recipes for the packages I'd like to have.

Although an install script is probably a better way to document my
(shrinking!) list of install procedures than a text file in NV...
