Overview
This pattern offers a standard installation procedure for binary distributions. It consists in shipping the binary distribution with a "./bin/.install" script that, once executed as a standard installation user, or root, renders the binary distribution into a runnable state. nort assumes the binary distributions it handles follow the pattern and attempts to run the installation logic as part of its install sequence.

TODO
- Consider usefulness of providing a Java class that encapsulates the installation logic and can be instantiated by reflection.
