Landing bot setup steps

[John Meinel]

I brought it up in the last threas where you complained. What is the
correct answer.
1) Forking a charm so the one *we* use isnt suitable for general
consumption.
2) Spending a lot of time trying to make the charm fit all possible use
cases
3) Add a generic "run this script as root" so that you still have a massive
configuration script. Note that some pieces are pretty easy as "fire ul an
editor" and pretty hard to do as a nice script.
