Firebird Extension / Theme RPMs

If someone can provide a mechanism for programmatically installing Mozilla Firebird extensions, I would be more than happy to put a night aside for packaging a bunch of them for RPM to push up to fedora. From what I'm reading here, it looks like the xpinstall stuff is limited/non-existent from the command line. Lots of people wanting to know how to do unattended/cli installs but no one replying seems to understand why you would want to go cli instead of using the browser. Trying to roll Firebird out to a large number of machines w/ a standard set of extensions is a nightmare.
