Well, ChatZilla already has that scheme working (e.g. I only more or 
less copied and updated the install.rdf they are already using for their 
ChatZilla langpacks, but I only saw French and Russian as actually 
using/announcing those on their ChatZilla pages linked from 
<http://chatzilla.hacksrus.com/>).

The only element that is new for those is the <em:requires> which Mossop 
assures me is definitely just ignored on app versions that don't support it.

And for the case that is the most interesting to me, which is SeaMonkey 
trunk, I have tested this repackaging process on Linux at least and know 
that it works. Of course, Windows installer needs some more more, I need 
to figure this out with our installer specialist, but I think I see a 
way to do it.

Gijs just told me he's posting in parallel, I guess he can say something 
about that :)
