When I was working on PythonCE years ago I had the same concerns.

I am wondering if Python eggs, easyinstall and setuptools could be put 
to use for this. Rather than starting from scratch.

I think easyinstall at least gets you the dependency checking, 
downloading (non-graphical) and installation. removal is a pain.

Maybe you could start with a simple gui that uses setuptools and 
easyinstall codebase.

(and sorry, I no longer have a CE device but just lurk on the list these 
days),
