Step 2: A script that can write out such a script to clone an existing 
installation.  Just translate the contents of /etc/setup/installed.db to 
the form --packages wants.

Step 3: Modify the script to find the last-used setup.ini (registry?), 
put the packages there into a dependency graph, then compute the minimum 
set of packages needed to clone the installation.

No, I am not volunteering. :)
