Hmm, shouldn't have been. Maybe Mint does a bit where "recommended
packages" get installed as well. Usually it's only "required packages"
that get tacked on.
I left it as optional because it's a big 31MB. But, these days what's
31MB? (qtpovray is 1.3MB and qtpovray-includes is 285KB)
Maybe I should make it required. This is twice it has caused confusion
and delay.

I can assign the contents of a file to be pasted on a hotkey. Sounds neat.
