If the accusation is that the installation docs are terse, I freely
confess.  "Guilty as charged, m'lord."

However, I would then turn that around argue that that's a feature.
There really isn't much to installing Quixote!  A new installation under
Python 2.2 or later is particularly simple: it's just the usual
incantation,

  python setup.py install

I'm not sure what to add to the installationd doc really.  I guess
Python 2.0 and 2.1 are old enough that the text accomodating them should
be shoved down.  Hmmm, I'll see what I can come up with...
