Digging in installer::converter a bit, it looks like a lot of that ought
to be ripped out (I mean, convert_array_to_space_separated_string() - my
gosh). Given the amount of code that looks quite slow, the cumulative
effect of getting rid might be quite good.

Maybe it would be worth breaking down the Easy Hacks thing for the
installer into separate jobs like this?
