Installing a compiler by default

[Hervé Fache]

Matt,

That would solve a problem when some package (such as Gems, for Ruby)
expect a compiler to add modules from source, the same way CPAN does.

Compiling things as root is not the best of approaches, but there is a
problem here that could maybe be solved by having a compiler, at least
temporarily.

Note: I am a software developper, not a normal human being ;-)
