lessons from actually trying to set up a new system

=> get_all_prereqs' brave attempt to install its own prereqs wasn't quite right
=> get_all_prereqs also wasn't smart enough to recognize when a failing cpanm install put it in an infinite loop
=> fix_perms had forgotten to grant group write perms to the things it changed the group on
=> found a bunch of modles to add to the general PREREQs list in myperl.pm
=> found a bug in chuid and chgid with their handling of symlinks
=> inconsistency in the handling of Tyr (i.e. $work machine) with the new tunneling system we have
fixed all the above
changes necessary for Linux Mint

Linux Mint doesn't have a wheel group, so using sudo group instead
Linux Mint doesn't use gedit (uses something called "pluma" instead)
the names of packages are different when moving from Fedora to Mint,
	because one is RedHat-based and the other is Debian-based
switched more scripts from system Perl to perlbrew Perl
trying to make things look good on the new machine

tried fiddling with themes by messing with gtkrc ... no joy
tried fiddling with fonts in Eterm ... also no joy
themes I've found a workaround for
but it may be time to give up on Eterm
I've heard good things about aterm; maybe I'll look into that
now that common is on the Dropbox any more ...

... this was making symlinks in the Dropbox folder
bad, bad idea
fixed bug with Makefile.PL

my attempts to not replace tabs in Makefile was making me also not replace them in Makefile.PL
which is a whole different ball of wax
fixed
