Plum out of inspiration at the moment, but how about something similar 
to the framework distribution currently?  Each Block would come inside 
its own directly, there would be a master script that could be used to 
install Blocks, installing everything with no arguments, or the Blocks 
you specify with -b.  I see issues needing to be resolved as:

1) What application does the Block get installed under?  Maybe tag each 
Block inside with an app name?
2) Version control and dependencies (within Horde apps).  Say you need 
Horde 3.1 and IMP 4.1 - don't let the user install if those 
prerequisites aren't met.

Or maybe handle it with the equivalent of a package.xml for each block, 
that lists prequisites and the app its associated with.
