Add OpenDylan to various package managers

I'm glad that the community provides standalone binary
installers<http://opendylan.org/download/>of OpenDylan. That makes it
much,
*much* easier to start programming in Dylan.

But I'm wondering if we could also get OpenDylan into official package
management systems. By integrating with package systems, users don't have
to manually download and run installers, but query their package manager to
go out and find Dylan, and install it. Package managers also make sysadmin
work easier (e.g. spinning up AWS instances with OpenDylan preinstalled).

Ubuntu: Would be nice if Ubuntu Package
Search<http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=dylan&searchon=names>had
a .DEB, so that Ubuntu users could install OpenDylan with sudo
apt-get install opendylan. Does anyone know of a PPA for OpenDylan?

Windows: Would be nice if we wrapped our MSI in a
Chocolatey<http://chocolatey.org/>script, so that Windows users could
install OpenDylan with chocolatey
install opendylan.

Mac OS X: Would be nice if this Homebrew
formula<https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/20520> were
finished, so that Mac users could install OpenDylan with brew install
opendylan.

Eh?
