I would suggest to use a setup subkey, because you might find that
you have to store more than one value at one point. It would be
cleaner this way, imho. And originally we came up with the version
number, too, so what about "setup-2" or "setup"?
Anyway, it's your decision. I will go with whatever you think is
approriate. I just need to know so I can fix utils/path.cc.
