I would really like to see installation of extensions at the API level, not at the system level.
There is an extension that allows for installing extensions through the UI at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Configure#Special:Extensions ; having an API module is the Configure extension's responsibility.
Added a read-only API module in r41988. A module able to change the configuration will be difficult to write though.
