How does it work?

Options are manipulated in your config.txt directory. Addins are merged by decrypting World of Goo files and merging them with addins in the addin file format.

Does this mean that it needs to modify the gamefiles. If so, I would say a big no.

I have open a thread at the gootool developers forum to get a qualified answer to you question. http://goofans.com/node/117

It basically creates a copy of the game in a user-defined location (e.g. user's home) with the mods applied (config.txt, modified game files).

If decided to be packaged, I may help with Java packaging.

Created attachment 184017 [details]
new bin/gootool

fyi attached is the new bin/gootool script that will be in the forthcoming version 0.10.3. It was changed to handle libraries in /usr/share/gootool and configuration in /etc/gootool for the Debian packaged version.

If any other changes are needed for Gentoo let me know.

Please see Java Packaging Guide[1]. Basically the ebuild needs to use system jars instead of the bundled ones and use java eclass functions to install its jars.
