An emacs-wide pre-made config system which could be relevant is my fork
of the Emacs starter kit [1] which is build entirely using Emacs Lisp
configuration embedded in Org-mode files.  This does have a minimal
pre-built Org-mode setup [2].  Perhaps the Org-mode specific portion of
this starter kit could be expanded into what you're after (even using
your outline above directly).  Note that this requires Emacs24 to work
"out of the box".

Although, a simpler system based off a single Org-mode file may be
preferable.  Note that after the impending release of Emacs24 it will be
possible to place both the Emacs Lisp and the prose documentation of
such a tool in a single Org-mode file which should simplify distribution
and maintenance of such a system.

Best,
