[ale] open source e-store/shopping carts

[John Wells]

The unfortunate thing is that it appears Interchange requires root access
to install, which I don't have.  This is on a box I share with other users
and pay for monthly.

Any other good opensource e-store/shopping carts out there that don't
require root to install?

Thanks for the help.
