It was not possible before, although I suppose it's even less possible
now.  The libraries we've released thus far are exactly that; other
contributors and developers on the web have created various types of
IDP and RP software packages for one framework or another.  Building a
good, secure IDP is neither easy nor trivial, and making it available
in a *library* package doesn't really make sense.  It's the sort of
thing that is best built and maintained as a third-party package by a
larger group of contributors who are invested in making it a good
package.  With that said, if you're interested, I'm sure there are
others that would be happy to work on such a project.
