/**
 * The installation service MBean allows administrative tools to manage
 * component and shared library installations.  The tasks supported are:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Installing (and uninstalling) a shared library</li>
 *   <li>Creating (loading) and destroying (unloading) a component installer
 *       MBean.</li>
 *   <li>Finding an existing component installer MBean.
 * </ul>
 *
 * Installing and uninstalling components is accomplished using
 * {@link InstallerMBean}s, loaded by this MBean.  An individual installer MBean
 * is needed for each component installation / uninstallation.  This is to support
 * the more complex installation process that some components require.
