aflegg, that's a good idea, but (aside from the automatic CM bookkeeping) does it offer anything more than a tarball? e.g. if I *move* something (not just add something), will that move be backed up? If so, then that's an improvement over a tarball, but the holy grail would be to be able to maintain this backup between flash upgrades - is that possible with the rsync solution?

In that respect, I wonder if there's any solution better than a shell script. It looks like the application installer has a CLI interface (app-installe-tool install <file>), so a shell script solution could potentially work across flash versions (but would be a pain to develop).
