Hmm . . . I suppose we could install both by default and then leave it
to the client configuration but I hate that kind of bloat.  I would
think that this could be done without creating too much confusion or
mangling the silent installation.  If we have sensible defaults, then
the average, non-savvy user would simply take the defaults.  I'd also
imagine the silent install will take the defaults unless parameters are
passed to it to do otherwise.  As always, I defer to your judgment and I
may misunderstand the point you are making but those are my thoughts.
Thanks - John
