Well, scene/include files are of course the same ones that you already get
with the Windows distro, and an install script might be a luxury that won't
be available for a while, since I'm not exactly the biggest Linux expert
myself.  I basically took this over on an interim basis until Mark Gordon
can work his way out from under the deluge of Real Life.  So, at least for
the duration of the beta, it's likely to be a binary and the extra files
and a smile and a handshake.
