[Building Sakai] Sakai tool installer

[David Haines]

Is anyone interested in a BOF at the conference on building a Sakai tool "installer"?  This functionality has been suggested for years but never has happened.  We should figure out if it is easy and then do it, or figure out how to make it easy.

The basic hope is that someone could, at worse, create a text file that lists appropriate tools and the installer would assemble a Sakai image that could be deployed into Tomcat.  An imaginary example is below:

Sakai-base-2.7.3
blogwow-1.2.3
disabler-tool-0.5
autojoin-umich-0.1

Even with a UI as boring as a text editor this would make creating a Sakai installation easier.
