Hi,

Got ome part bad news. I spoke to someone on the phone today who said 
installation/uninstallation is evil ;) They managed to convince me that in 
some circumstances it can be a real PITA and we should just fully unzip .sar 
on filesystem and rebuild "installation" each run. Oh well - I still think we 
need installation for when Phoenix is clusterable. So maybe we can add a CLI 
argument that turns on installation like it is now ;) 

The only issues with the current setup that I noticed were the following.
* I don't like a storing it in directory named var/ as that is too unix 
specific and most people I know who are windows people and can get confused 
with var/ and etc/ type names. So perhaps something simpler like 
installations/ or installs/ or conf/installs/ or similar. I think I like 
conf/installs the best.
* secondly when we have two different apps that have the same name .sar, it 
will not install the secon one. ie imagine there was a foo.sar in the 
${phoenix.home}/apps and we executed the following

./run.sh --application /some/other/dir/foo.sar

This would not work because there is already an app named "foo". So we need 
to think of a way to work around that.
