If you are going to do the scripts its better to have an XML descriptor for
repositories and a helper tool for moz/firefox that knows that media type.
You can then click and subscribe to repositories which is *not* the same thing
as the windows click/download model because 

-	Repositories have keys
-	You know *where* a package comes from
-	You get updates automagically
