Monticello loading is very fragile. In general, the only way to
reliably install Monticello is to use the LevelPlayingField
script:
http://installer.pbwiki.org/LevelPlayingField
The actual script to install monticello is this:
http://installer.pbwiki.org/LevelPlayingField-Monticello15
Notice how it actually loads Monticello twice: first from a
file-out, then from a .mcz package. This works around the
fragilities of loading Monticello using Monticello. It is a
bootstrapping problem.
