You could look at the add-ons installation scripts.
I should say I haven't find the time to look at.

There is basically two interfaces defined for add-ons:
- add-on language files have to be placed on /var/ipcop/addon-lang and cache
is updated with execution of
/usr/bin/perl -e "require '/var/ipcop/lang.pl'; &Lang::BuildCacheLang"

- backup
Unfortunately floppy backup and web/usbkey backup behave differently
With web/usbkey backup, each add-on could add his own include.<add-on> and
exclude.<add-on> files in /var/ipcop/backup.
With floppy backup, you should modify include.user to add new files (if they
are not yet include by standard rules).All /var/ipcop (but a few files) are
include in backup.

With web/usbkey backup, using the --verbose option, you see the list of
files include in backup.
With floppy backup, the list is always displayed.

With the GUI menu, this is all hacking, no interface.
The only thing you know is that we never replace header.pl and always patch
it when needed.
You would better know looking at some add-ons.
