This would be losely modeled on the MacOS 9 "extensions manager" where one turns off and on checkboxes to turn on and off extensions, and allows you to create sets of these choices "gem & zexy" "usb audio" "internal audio" "asio & gem & cyclone" These could be added as buttons or quick links. Another option, rather than checkboxes, is a two pane system, with a list of all externals on one side, and the current external set on the other, and using drag and drop to create sets.

i don't have the programming skills to code such a beast, but i've been 
dreaming of an externals-manager that downloads the right version of 
externals and installs them automatically...

please do it !
