Among the requirements:
I don't fully understand the goal here. From later discussion, I think you envision a model where people drop eggs into some directory and an application should be able to analyze this directory to determine which ones to use, meaning which to include in some working set. In addition to automatically determining the working set, the application should be able to find the entry points in that working set. Does that capture what you want to do?
