Yeah, I know, it's a mess, sorry.
I'm considering making the next release be an "application" release rather
than a distutils installation. That would mean:
1. No end-user setup.py tomfoolery,
2. No additional installation steps for the end user as I'll bundle
everything, but
3. I'm not sure how to achieve this sensibly on Linux yet.
I'll look at putting in some uninstall instructions in the next release too.

ps. initial cut of Bruce Style Sheets is done. Need to think of some way to
allow people to share stylesheets though.
