Makeself has been around for quite a while and is great for stuff like this.   It creates a self extracting archive that will extract itself and then run a shell script.  I use it to install chef solo and our own client on ec2 instances.

Your script is pretty impressive, but I think there might be a simpler way. I'm currently looking at making the chef client distributable as a tarball using Wycats' new bundler project.

Oh, my.  Yep, that's a lot simpler. :-) No more fiddling with bootstrapping for me today, but I'm definitely going to check out rewriting the script in terms of wycat's bundler over the weekend.
