We already have a "for all distros" installer (that uses bitrock). But
it'd be really cool to see this use autopackage.

I think the best way to start would be from the top down. It'd be nice
to do a package of MonoDevelop and then see "what can be made easier to
do with helpers in autopackage, etc".
