I never played with it. Can you send a link? Is it available as a 
separate plugin, or we need to use a specific VM?

This is really cool! We could use it to build a a mechanism to load 
updates directly from the server. Very nice! I guess I'll need to take a 
look at this asap.

We could also load packages from GitHub. The problem I see is that it 
would make installing packages much easier than commiting code... This 
might mean that less people would contribute. I think this part needs 
more thought and discussion. What do all you think?
