This is a great idea, but just out of curiosity, why not something compressed like the .MO files used in Slax?

I really like the idea of not having to clutter up the package manager with one-time applications, and also not having to worry about using up the internal memory.

Maybe someone with more PyGTK experience than me could whip up a simple GUI for this? (I'd try, but I don't know enough Python yet... still learning...)

This looks to be much better than the current process of making DEB files, and a lot more professional to not have to worry about dependencies with chroot-- it's just like .APP files in OSX !

Awesome job, pipeline!
