mmm sounds good. The only problem is that since this will make everybody
use the latest version always, I'll really have to make sure that rpa-base
isn't broken and can still update itself, etc 
IIRC such a problem happened once, around 0.2.0-28 or maybe 0.2.1-1, where
rpa-base wouldn't install itself correctly when using a non-standard
$prefix. I fixed it quickly and AFAIK nobody was bitten. Anyway, in
the worst possible case, you'd just have to install rpa-base from the
.tar.gz again (it would adopt the installed ports, etc). Not quite as
convenient as a simple rpa install rpa-base but still acceptable.
And this won't be a problem when I make rpa install rpa-base itself
atomic.

Or perhaps, rpa update also runs rpa install rpa-base if rpa-base if
updated?

(note: I'm cheating a tiny bit, since it would normally happen only
*after* 0.2.1-9, which is the 1st version with auto self-update; I just
installed 0.2.1-9 directly with ruby install.rb before doing the rpa
update -- that's why it says it's unchanged)

Or perhaps, rpa update also runs rpa install rpa-base if rpa-base if
updated?
