The actual libs won't be stored on the internal memory, but linked to whatever memory card you use.
I heard someone say that /opt is already in use on the iLiad, how about /var/opt? From there we can implement something similar to what Henry mentioned, but instead link it to /media/???/_opt. In there, we can have share, bin, lib, etc.
Using ipkg isn't a bad idea. We wouldn't even need to make any changes to the contentlister to run it (thus preventing problems with a user running too large of an ipkg file). We can distribute the ipkg along with an installation script. It'll create the necessary directories and symlinks, remove the installation file, and change itself from an installer to the program launcher. Should be simple to do and easy for the user to understand.
I don't think that zipping the needed ipkg, script, manifest, and icon would cause much of an issue. XP has zip functionality built in. A user can easily open a zip as a folder and drag and drop into the memory card. Either that, or go through xp horrible zip wizard...
