I'm looking into a simple-minded way to do this, and this raised at least
one question: do we actually need the output of the post-install scripts
flashing in front of our eyes? If not, I can just redirect it to a file,
say, /var/log/setup.log.postinstall (there's probably no need for a
separate file per script). If we actually want the console windows, it'll
take some more doing, probably a separate console tee-like application.
