Thanks - this seems exactly what I need - if the idea of distributing
emacs extensions as tar files is completely abandoned.  I also see
reasons why going this route to deploy extensions is a good idea - and
the elpa-mirror package helps out for the "niche" of users who need to
deploy the extensions on machines that do not have access to the
internet.

Auctex also started recommending the install via elpa, but they still
offer the "traditional method" (at least on *nix).  

Best,
Chrsitian
