I seen a pretty cool hook in one of the engines I installed..

Create an install.rb file that contains something like the following.

# Install the engines plugin if it has been already
unless File.exist?(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../engines")
  Commands::Plugin.parse!(['install',
'http://svn.rails-engines.org/plugins/engines'])
end
