Possibly a devs:assigns file being an ascii text file so it is easy for programs to manipulate. A way to install fonts more easily is also all but essential. I can do it, but it gets very confusing from the CLI. If it weren't for programs like diskman it would probably take a few tries. Perhaps a "suit-case" like program from the Mac world.
