Agreed that things should be as self contained as possible.  Going from
memory but the PHPGW guys had to write a script to try to find which
modules needed translating, etc.  They had kind of a headache with it.

I really liked their API and module registration, upgrade, installation,
etc. until I installed LDAP auth and address books.  It got way too
s-l-o-w and was abandoned.

I've been impressed with webmin/usermin and its ability to check for
upgrades and install new modules.  It's in perl.
