That's awesome ! I wonder if such a system could be used with not only factor code, but by interfacing to other package management systems. For example requiring factor bindings to a C library would setup both the bindings and the library through the operating system's package management system. It sounds ambitious though (and tough luck for people using operating systems without a package management system).
