That sounds pretty cool. Probably the best step would be to make a spell
out of it. Im not sure what section it would go in, but if there are no
objections it could go in the smgl section (which im maintaining atm).

You could probably also get help making it work with sourcemage by
talking to some of the team people in irc...

Although really sourcing /etc/sorcery/config loads almost everything
you'd want, then its just a matter of tracking down the right variables.

Alternatively you could stick with gaze on the command line, ie

for each in $(gaze installed|cut -f1 -d:); do
        gaze install $each >> <somewhere>
done

Although i personally think gaze is a bit slow on this compared to just
running an equivalent set of code on the bare files.

Thanks for the help.
