+There is an EXPERIMENTAL script in scripts/setup which asks a few
+questions, sets up a basic installation and starts the server.  To use
+it, after having done 'sudo make install', just do 'sudo
+scripts/setup' and follow the prompts.
+
+Its current main deficiences are:
+   - it uses the 'daemon' user/group instead of creating a 'jukebox'
+     identity.
+   - the launchd configuration does not have the server started at
+     boot time.  You must start it manually.  This may be changed in a
+     future version.
