It would make deploying developed WordPress solutions easier and would make reinitializing WordPress solutions during development much easier.  Thoughts on this?

Great link, thanks!  Now the next step would be to automate the automation with a hook for plugins called something like 'make_install.php' that could contribute code to an install.php itself based on its current state.  I'm envisioning an admin page where I could copy the generated install.php and past into a file, not something that would automatically overwrite the existing one.
