Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier. Clearly our docs still need improvement 
here, but I'm not sure I feel comfortable with having this script right up-
front in our getting started documentation as it is now, particularly as it's 
not part of OE-Core itself. There is a canonical method for getting started, 
it's a simple set of steps anyone should be able to follow; various frontend 
scripts around but I don't think they really belong in the OE instructions in 
this manner unless they're actually part of OE-Core.

Cheers,
Paul
