I'm gonna land that on Pine, but here is the gecko patch for those that want to play with it.

You will also need to use my Pine gaia branch: https://github.com/fabricedesre/gaia/tree/pine

Steps:
- build your custom gecko an push it.
- push $gaia/httpd to /system/bin and start it with |httpd -h /system/b2g/apps|. This is simply a busybox server.
- stop b2g, and rm -r /data/b2g, /data/local/storage, /data/local/permissions.sqlite
- run $gaia/push_apps.sh

push_apps.sh is very slow, so once we have done it once, you can update a single app with $gaia/push_apps.sh system.gaiamobile.org
We should really push zips and unzip on device instead...

Maybe we should even push profile.tar.gz and extract everything on device? Instead of pushing all zips and unzipping all.
