I've update setup-opt.sh which can be download for review from

	http://www.linuxbase.org/~gk4/setup-opt.txt

I propose briefly mentioning it in the LSB book, then provide it to
Prentice Hall for the readers to download and use.  Providing it in this
way will give us time to debug/enhance the script and to make it generally
available.  Any comments or objections?
