Sorry, that still doesn't tell me much about how you actually wire all 
the bits and pieces of Aether together :-)

Well yes, the current classes can be instantiated via constructor and 
passed into the DefaultInstaller/-Deployer via setters.

But really, manually wiring Aether together is surely the most 
complicated and fragile way. When not using Sisu, I strongly suggest to 
have a look at the previously mentioned 
org.apache.maven.repository.internal.DefaultServiceLocator class. An 
example of its use can be found among the aether-demo module [0].
