Just a thought: Given that most users will not be pushed for disk space, why
not make the tcl and Fortran options part of the default install?

This will obviate many questions (tcl is needed for packages like Rcmdr,
Fortran if packages are from source (more rather than less likely for Mac
users), and can always be turned off by a simple click in custom install. No
cost, and probably quite a good gain, esp. for new users.
