So what this is all about really is...

Rather than a two step install where you install
  1. Fb-Server as a service
  2. Your own application as a service

You would like to do it in one step
  1. Install your own app that also installs Fb-Server.


Other than installation what other advantages would such a
configuration offer?

I am guessing that, with an appropriate API, you may be able
to offer additional server management capabilities.  But then
again with the appropriate API these should be available even
with the normal configuration.

You can already integrate a FB install into your own install,
although the result is still a separate service.  So the
install advantage does not seem to be very great.

To be blunt;  What is the point?
