Hah, Daniel, you're too fast, it actually just landed into OPAM trunk just now !
So here is the official announcement :)
OPAM now installs together with a small opam-installer script designed just towards that goal: it handles .install files, and can be used to install or remove any package that generates them, independently of OPAM. Hopefully this will help the acceptation of this format as a standard, both easing the programmer's (and build-system writer's) work and providing better integration with the packaging system.
Additionally, opam-installer can generate shell-scripts that could be used, for example, for distributing to targets which don't have the tool.
This is still in beta stage, all reports welcome.
