May be this is off topic, but when I was working in embedded linux development I have used a cool tool to customize its own linux image before downloading it. It's narcissus from angstrom distribution: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/narcissus/
For me, a Pharo image and a linux distribution are quite similar when talking about packages. With Metacello, Loader and Seaside, may be such a tool to configure your image to download is not a big deal ? So everybody can easily choose between OB, O2 or both, WorkingSet / Algernon, AidaWeb / Seaside, ....
