Thanks - this seems exactly what I need - if the idea of distributing emacs extensions as tar files is completely abandoned. I also see reasons why going this route to deploy extensions is a good idea - and the elpa-mirror package helps out for the "niche" of users who need to deploy the extensions on machines that do not have access to the internet. Auctex also started recommending the install via elpa, but they still offer the "traditional method" (at least on *nix).
