This should be part of 0.1. We need support for multiple install profile. Install profiles should be detected in platforms, we just need to add a radio in the new site creation.

I try a stab at this one.

This is now in the latest HEAD.

I tested this using the bryghtbase installation profile found at : https://svn.bryght.com/dev/browser/bryghtbase/DRUPAL-5/trunk

I found a critical problem whereby the views module would already be loaded in the hosting site when trying to provision a new site with
the views module. Due to lack of namespaces in PHP, the only option I had available to me at the time was to remove views from the
hostmaster profile, which we had discussed several times previously.

I replaced the views we had with a handful of custom queries and tables, which amounted to about 50 lines of code. I also removed hundreds of lines of views 1 api code, that would need to be replaced with views 2 api code when we release the D6 release of the front end.

To get bryghtbase working correctly, I needed to implement locale support, which I am currently working on.
http://drupal.org/node/319303 - locale support for install profiles

Two bugs i discovered while working on this :
http://drupal.org/node/319295 - duplication of imported sites
http://drupal.org/node/319299 - incorrect detection of install profiles from imported sites
