Here's the code to copy paste and run to install el-get currently.

(url-retrieve
 "https://github.com/dimitri/el-get/raw/master/el-get-install.el";
 (lambda (s)
   (end-of-buffer)
   (eval-print-last-sexp)))

I can see your point about el-get being a package even if not included
in ELPA by default, now that package.el is part of Emacs24.  That leaves
any user of Emacs23 with no solution though.  I will consider that at
some point I guess, but currently el-get allows you to get package.el in
emacs23 :)
