Update: Added the source code for linux users as well as those interested in how it works. Requires python, but since it uses tk there are no other dependancies. .rar modules won't work on linux because I am using the windows unrar command line tool. I will linux support for rar files at a later time. Run view.py to run the program.
Saluk's NWN Module Installer - version 1
What it is:
This is a useful search and install utility for managing your custom content.
You can search, download, and install modules from the vault without opening a web browser.
It will automatically download any hak files associated with a mod, so it makes installing
modules about as easy and simple as possible. It also saves what files it installs,
so you can uninstall modules later (and it wont remove a hak file if that hak file is shared).
I have not tested it extensively, so that's where you guys come in.
Files Supported:
It supports .zip and .rar files, as well as modules that are just single .mod files. It will
break on modules that have their own installer, but there's not much I can do about that.
What's missing/todo:
* Missing the advanced search functions from the vault
* Search doesn't update you on its progress (it just sits there and then suddenly the results appear)
* If you break the install in the middle, it won't clean up after itself
* Interface a bit clunky
* Uninstall doesn't really tell you what it's doing

Thank you for posting the source. I'm not a programmer but I am going to see if I can get this working on linux, sounds like it would make things much easier.
