I'm thinking of those people that can't install
automatically or just like to see what they are really
doing...
The user would make a temporary dir that would be
cleared of all contents after the installation of a
MOD. The dir could be made 777 as would be there for a
moment.
This folder would contain all files that were changed
and the ones to copy. Of course to make this sensible
the files should already be in the correct directories
(with structure corresponding to the one in the phpBB
root).
It would be sort of a "changed files only version".
Additionally the SQL parser could produce the SQL
installation script (the problem would be a different
version of SQL on the local machine - how to be sure if
it will work).
PS: The files could be ZIPed together (and available
for download)... I've found this:

But I haven't tested yet.

In a way, this is already implemented into the current
version of EasyMOD. I'll keep this open so that we remember
it for the rewrite.
