I completely forgot to update the web page!  I will do this either
tomorrow or Thursday (although if anybody wants to issue a pull
request to the website with the info, it can be redeployed asap.)
Thank you again for doing this!

I think the PPA, Kacper's ebuild, having pip install work, and TomR's
MacPorts are all really, really good reasons to start focusing on
reducing the install script overhead, handling things like
dependencies in a more clear way, and making yt work as an independent
software package much better.  And I think the more we move into this
area the more we should try to have a rolling, regular release
schedule.  Does that ring true to everybody else, too?  The more we
have the ability to install yt independently of hg, independently of
the install_script, the more we should try to make a regular release
schedule with it.
