Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not so sure that would be a
good idea for a Mandrake system.  Non-RPM based installs tend to clutter
up the system and make it a little hard to work with.  The urpmi tool is
already very powerful and can handle the installation or upgrade process
of a software quite well with a single command "urpmi mythtv-backend" for
example.  All it really needs to do so is a properly setup package source
(one more single command-line).  Depending on how this installer works
though, some parts might have immense value for a post-install
configuration, so don't stop investigating.  I setup all my sources on a
new machine with this script below.  That said, if you contact me
directly, I would gladly test any installer/configurator you do come up
with under Mandrake 9.1 (possibly 9.0 if your timing is right too).

That add script I mentioned (note that some of these lines were split over
many by the email system):
