I have actually thought of getting something like this together. It would 
include step-by-step instructions for creating your own local custom-package
repository. Unfortunately this also means it would have to include discussion
of upset and all the problems associated with changes in
setup.exe/upset/setup.ini. 
Any thoughts on whether this would be worth it?
