Comment (by axeld):

 While I like that idea in general, I think the current UI of the Installer
 is sub-optimal to be used as a tool for this, and I don't have a good idea
 on how to improve this.

 I think the boot manager could have a better home in DriveSetup - there
 you could even select the device you want to install it on (an option that
 seems to be missing currently). Of course, it should still be used from
 the Installer, though I think it's not clear to which disk it will apply
 its tools.

 As a stand-alone application, it's actually not that useful as is, as it
 would need to provide a way to select the target disk.
