Fair enough.  I must admit, I forgot the difference between 0.70 and 0.75
(one that does come to mind is dropping th sticky bit requirement for
the log directories, which I always forgot).  My personal install
instructions for 0.75 sidestep that whole /package /command weirdness.

I also like having readprodctitle running - it's saved my bacon a few
times when errant processes have filled up the file system
