+# FIXME: this whole setup/regular execution is ugly. need to think of a better scheme
+# Motivation behind the 'setup' thing:
+# - on some platforms we need to do stuff *before* any of the real recipes are running
+#   an example is Darwin where you need to change the default package provider
+#   to 'ports' BEFORE you define any package resources
+# - so we create 2 manifests. one that executes the 'setup' recipes, and another one that executes the rest.
