+1000 for that.

Hmmm...  I think this is needed only for packagers.  You need TG to run, you
need TG to develop.  If you are someone that is packaging applications / TG
to be used by other people you don't need it installed.

Maybe this is interesting, but I don't see it being used all that much.  
Specially because people package TG, but not apps.
