  Description     : Basilisk Installation Utilities
 Implements utilities for installation of the basilisk package, primarily
 for creation of the underlying Conda instance. This allows us to avoid
 re-writing the same R code in both the configure script (for centrally
 administered R installations) and in the lazy installation mechanism
 (for distributed package binaries). It is highly unlikely that
 developers - or, heaven forbid, end-users! - will need to interact with this
 package directly; they should be using the basilisk package instead.
