I think it's great -- thanks.  It's super compact, too, which helps a lot.

I think you're right.  I realized this earlier, too -- so that __file__ (or its
directory) would probably need to be passed in as a parameter.  Perhaps the
autoinstall() method could accept a destination directory as a parameter and
default to autoinstall.py's directory if the parameter is not present.

Yes, I agree.  The package was a great find!  And thanks, Daniel!
