--------------------------------+------------------------
 I gave the nyx setup.py script a whirl today, and it mostly worked though
 there were 2 minor issues, both more annoying than major bugs.

  * The `#!` line in the `nyx` script that gets installed should (if
 easy/possible) pull in the python executable name used for installation,
 instead of `python`.  This is only an issue on systems that do not have
 `/usr/bin/python`, which admitedly are in a minority, but if I invoke
 setup.py as `python2 setup.py`, it would be nice if the right thing
 happened.
  * It looks like some of the documentation installation isn't honoring the
 destination.  The script was ran as `setup.py install --user` which should
 put everything under `~/.local`, but instead the installation process
 croaked half way through with `error: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
 '/usr/share/man/man1/nyx.1.gz'`.
