This is really cool! Whether you want to add it to Felix or to Sling is tricky, because it would have a right to be in both but I would argue that Felix is the better place since it is independent from Sling. Either way, great work and +1 to make it available at either Felix or Sling.
regards, Karl p.s.: Peter Kriens asked whether we at Felix would be interested in his FileInstall bundle so maybe we could just merge the two at Felix?
