finstall: a Folding@Home better installer

finstall is a *nix installer for Folding@Home. It looks for the best available binary for your machine, download it, install it, start it as a daemon and then forget it.
I learned about it while I made the PKGBUILD for FAH_SMP_Linux (a new beta fah client that will give Folding's team some great new opportunities, see SMP_Faq).

finstall could be an improvement over the single FAH binary that is actually packaged by Jason Taylor & seratne : download the best binary for your hardware & system, simplifying maintenance (you actually needs foldingathome.conf.d & foldingathome.rc.d on top of the PKGBUILD & foldingathome.install), localised versions (Estonian, French & Dutch @ the moment)

This script was developped by Ivoshiee from 11/8/2002 !
