Yeah. Basically every single functionality of the install tool should be 
available via cli. At the moment, it is probably the biggest bummer that 
the new install tool does not provide a cli interface to its 
installation process and other tasks, especially core updates, db 
analyzer, upgrade wizards, clear cache.

Since the current work-in-progress "new release cycle" will also heavily 
benefit from a cli based install / upgrade tool, I'll probably work on 
this soon. And there are other positive effects.

Furthermore Helmut worked on a generic cli API for the core [1].

Imho, it is time to combine all those efforts to a generic, flexible and 
stable interface.

I guess we'll stay in contact Stefano ;)

Christian
