Greetings Mario,

Nice idea, although here are some comments:

1) A package should be undoable... uninstall functionality?

2) Regarding modules, work has been done in the later kernels to
autoload modules based on dmi data. It might be possible to actually
patch the whitelist of those modules; see applesmc.c for an example.

Cheers,
Henrik
