It's not hard, but it clutters up the code enough.  I am actually more
concerned about the maintainability of the code here.

But let's not get distracted by the syntax too much here.  I got the
message and I am seriously reconsidering using .ini files instead of
going with XML, see my reply to Jari.  (I will probably keep the
X-expressions for internal stuff, tho.)


I would like to hear more about what additional functionality you
would like to see in the .install files.

"Being able to specify multiple repositories" is one example of the
input I am looking for.
