syncing applications

I've got some simple prototype syncing working for config files.
Now I'm thinking about applications. Some questions...

Given the name of an application (i.e., the name of a directory
under the "applications" directory), how do I find the original
application archive on the server?

And how do I find all the "generated" content that goes with the
application?

Given an application archive, are there any utility classes to
extract the archive on the client?

And finally, I'm eventually going to need a method that, given a
server instance name, returns a list of all the applications that
should be available to that server. Anyone want to write it? :-)
