From your use-case description, and a cursory review of the code, it looks to me like you are trying to solve the same thing that patterns currently does.
Patterns is currently pretty stable, and supports a whole heap of Drupal config processes, not just enabling modules and blocks, but configuring users, settings, menu items, cck, views and nodes through (what looks like) a very similar API to the one you are starting to build.
I think it would be great if you looked at making some suggestions about how you think things could/should be done and joining the 'patterns' team.

bobooon commentedPatterns is great for your typical configuration. However this project was developed to handle any case and is intended for those with PHP knowledge as a developer tool. In the Release module you are able to use the full PHP library to perform different functions, not just configurations. For example you can write a script that can convert aggregation feeds into feedapi nodes. Eventually I do plan on expanding the built in functions so less re-inventing has to be done but I think this is still useful for a handful of us that like to do it the more manual way.
