I'm writing some code to automatically install minecraft forge, but I'm wondering, How do I do that? Would it be like pre-installer times just injecting class files into the jar or... How do I install install minecraft forge WITHOUT the installer (don't worry, I'm not doing it manually)

I want to start a large mod that would take me a while, and I worry that if I start it now with minecraft forge, after the plugin api comes out, I will have to restart my work for nothing. What will happen to minecraft forge after the plugin api. I know it will survive somehow, as a API? What do you think will happen to minecraft forge?
