[sldev] Rolling a custom viewer installer?

Here's a little idea I'll throw out there.
How about a commandline function to the Linden Labs provided SL
binaries: "--installpath".
With this, it's trivial to embed/download the LL installer within
another installer for the third party binaries, call the LL installer
first with the requested path from the container installer, and then
install the required files over the originals in the requested path.

What are your thoughts on that?
