Would be nice to have a mechanism that notifies the application which
called an installation that it is done. So it could re-search for
plugins etc.

Modify implies that you are thinking about also adding methods different
from installation?

The interaction mode should be either an array or a bitwise operator. I
could think of an application that would want to show deps and see a
progress.

Cheers,
