There is plenty of room on the miniconda updates disk, as well as slinky 
disk 2 for scripts of this nature.

I like this. Enough that I added it to Slinky already. :)
As each package is installed, the installer looks for a file named 
$package.post.sh and executes it, if it exists.
This also gives us the possibility of executing our own pre-install 
scripts via a file named $package.pre.sh. I don't know that we need the 
pre-install portion, but it's available if need be.
