Hello,
I would also be interested in using the XPI system for my OpenSource non-mozilla related project as I also need a platform independent installer.
XPI seems to be really attractive to me because I don't know any other installer for both, windows and Linux which can download seperate packages from the Internet.
I worked a bit with XPInstall and must say it isn't really platform independent, it's rather platform agnostic.
(no real support for platform specific configuration tests, to check for already installed libraries, no real support for variing filename styles on different platforms, you have to roll your own, no useful uninstall support)
For non mozilla related software i would use something different, for example InstallBase or one of the already mentioned nullsoft offerings.

Downloading separate packages is really a more or less trivial task in any reasonable scripting language, if you have a web server to put the packages.
