Core installation vs. non-vital

In hopes of this repo being a jumping off point for others, I hate to force people to install all of the packages I deem necessary. Maybe better to put together a core installation package that should be necessary for any developer and then another set of optionals.

Optionals can either be done via the ~/.dotfilesrc or another file in the repo.

Sample of core would be the coreutils and vim setup, and those can be set up via the install script? Anything else would go in the opt/ directory and then should hash check those files to see if they change before running installation.
