[yt-users] Installing yt without hg

[Elizabeth Tasker]

I also had to install yt on a machine done up like Alcatraz. I don't
think I had the same error as Dave (it was a while ago) but it did
take me a while and a great deal of frustration.

Could we maybe consider a tarball for yt that doesn't require any
internet access? Even if it's not updated all that often?
