That's in the plan, at least the virtual bundling part. We would
either reutilize Bundle::BioPerl for this purpose, or have a
Task::BioPerl that would install the requested modules using a
Module::Install (it comes with the bundler).
I'm not sure about physically bundling it. Not sure how to go about
setting that up beyond faking a local installation, zipping it up, and
shipping it (and that would be w/o tests, Build.PL, etc).
