Wouldn't it be fantastic if you'd be able to use your distribution's
package manager, or some similar system like AutoPackage etc?

Installing lots of things from source is not always healthy for a system
(can and will confuse your package manager), so I don't think it's a
good idea to "make it easy" for end-users to do this.
