Cool, I think something similar to this would be a good luau replacement.

Okay, I will ask some more detailed questions when I started working on this
;)

I'm still a little bit worried - the whole situation of Klik, Zeroinstall
and Autopackage. Developers don't want to create 4 or more packages for all
distros, but creating an Autopackage, a Klik file and a Zeroinstall feed
isn't much better. What about a tool which just creates all three of them in
one step?
