Multi-Module Project Installer

[netcarver]

For the benefit of other module authors (or module "bundlers") I've just pushed a new module up to github that allows you to do a "one-click-install" of an entire set of modules.

I know about the "installs" option for modules but believe that this offers a neater solution in some scenarios. For instance; it allows all of the sibling modules to be written without the need to define any 'installs' relationship between them - which could be particularly useful for later bundling of otherwise unrelated modules. It also keeps the modules UI clutter to an absolute minimum - all the user sees in the UI is just one module to install rather than all the modules that the package holds.

There is a demonstration 'project' here that you can install to see what this module does for you - specifically: how it simplifies the UI for the installation of 5 other modules.

Please note: This is an infrastructure module targeted at module authors or folks who otherwise create 'bundles' of modules. It isn't something you will want, of itself, for any site. (Which is why I'm not posting it to the module repository.)
