It's best to handle configuration use cases tools that operate above the
Monticello layer.  There are several options you can research:

   - MonticelloConfigurations
   - Metacello
   - Add methods to Installer's 'package-definitions' category for each of
those packages

Monticello has a dreadful feature called "required packages" which should
be avoided at all costs.
