Let's assume delivery of the activity-application is via a usb stick.  Let's
also assume the video game has 200mb of assets.  The goal is to make it as
easy as possible to install the activity-application once, from either side,
and to put the assets in one place.  For sugar, this would be a ~200mb xo
bundle on the usb stick.  For gnome, this might be a ~200mb rpm on the usb
stick.

Do all activity and application developers have write access to any part of
the system where they can add the libraries that they need to the system
from either gnome or sugar side and then access if from either side?  Where
and how should assets be installed?
