Maybe we could port the GPE Package Manager (a graphical front-end for ipkg, http://gpe.handhelds.org/projects/gpe-package.shtml).
I'm willing to look into it, but currently I have a lot of projects that I want to spend time on.

The iLiad already includes ipk. There are a few installers that are built as ipkg packages.
