Hi Florent.  Thanks for this work.  While I agree with Benji that it  
would be great if you could direct your general efforts in the  
direction of eggs, I think that the changes you list here look quite  
reasonable.  I also think that the goal of making these packages more  
independent fits in quite nicely with the egg-ification efforts.

+1 for this to go in the trunk.  Hopefully this will spur someone  
else to give your patch an evaluation.
