Horde Installer

[Jon Parise]

So I attended Andrei and Frank's "PHP-GTK" presentation at the
O'Reilly Convention last week, and I have to say, it is one
really cool use of PHP.

Anyway, I was thinking it might be an interesting tool for
developing a Horde installer application.  Because the GTK stuff
is pseudo-cross-platform (works under X and Windows), it would
allow us to hit most of our target audience.

The obvious downside is the need for the administrator to install
the PHP-GTK (and GTK) stuff, but I don't know how harsh of a
requirement that really is.

Of course, this doesn't necessarily have to be _the_ Horde
installer, but it would definitely be neat to have _a_ GUI Horde
installer.

Thoughts on this?
