* Use new "url" features
* Use keg_only DSL
* Use "skip_clean :all" DSL
* Whitespace and style cleanups
* Make bash invocations less silly
* Use new man2-man8 helpers
* Remove "FileUtils." since it is included in Formula
* Use real names for deps instead of aliases
* ENV.x11 now updates path, so remove that from individual brews
You can install them with easy_install/gem. I confess I don't know if these are worse? But they install outside the Homebrew prefix (/Library/Ruby etc.) so it's against policy.
We could add a flag for it though if this method is better.
brewkit.rb changes ENV destructively, so lets not do that everytime a formula
is required. Now it's possible for other tools to require a formula
description without worrying about side-effects.
