Keep a handle on the scope. I was going to stay out of this thread until some actual code appeared (and I still have a note to re-review Vinay Sajip's stuff to remind myself why that isn't the solution yet, since there were some problems there from memory), but if you try to tie two somewhat unrelated things together, a *lot* of time is going to be wasted both by you, writing the code, by others who might actually be concentrating on the isolated problem and then thinking the two are co-dependent and by us in convincing everybody to separate them again. Application objects is something that was floated as a way to solve a very small, specific set of problems. It seems to be growing in scope by leaps and bounds and that needs to be reigned.Code that wants to demonstrate how application objects work shouldn't depend on any particular installation strategy. The applications will be right there, ready to be entered into the settings file. How those applications happened to become available is orthogonal to this in most respects. So keep installation strategies out of the code for application objects initially, please, so that we can test things out and examine the code in isolation.
