Sorry for not being clear enough.

I _am_ going to improve what's already available; i'll just use
different tools to do the job.  I have seen fedelibre/LilyDev
repository on Github - thanks for putting it up! - and I'm basing my
work on it. :)

As for the tools, I'm going to use Vagrant with Ansible.  I have
worked with them before and I think they should enable us to make the
process of both creating and deploying LilyDev more automated, simpler
and probably also faster.  Besides, I'm simply curious of how they'll
perform in this task, so i'm going to try them anyway.

Now, for the next couple days I need to focus 100% on my day job, so
I'll be completely unresponsive until weekend.  Therefore I really
suggest to wait with further discussion.  You know, I have already
thought about most of the issues mentioned in this thread ;-)

cheers,
Janek
