As it turns out, I just wasn't using my imagination... Posting this as an aid to others who may encounter the same issues:

When I followed the "default" instructions from my "regular" mac user account, here's what I saw:

$ curl -L https://raw.github.com/emin/WebPQuickLook/master/install.sh | sh

But - turns out I didn't have the required privileges (did not try sudo). However, I went to my Admin account, and installed it for all users iaw the suggestion here:

curl -L https://raw.github.com/emin/WebPQuickLook/master/install-all.sh | sh

Maybe a small change to the README file here would help?

Anyway - it seems to be working fine!
