I think he means for example if the user wants to do mail or
IRC, say. Then we have an installer for Gnus (or rmail that
you wrote) and for ERC.

The installer probably facilitates setting the necessary
settings for those programs to work. And maybe set the theme
as well.

I must say the whole thing, if I am interpreting it correctly,
doesn't appeal to me that much but maybe it is actually a great
idea, hard to tell.
