The last time I looked this is actually what Drupal 7's tool does - it
writes the files directly, though at some point there was talk of
using an FTP loopback to make the files temporarily writable so that
you didn't have to have a less secure setup all the time.
There is also http://drupal.org/project/plugin_manager which for D6
will do (S)FTP loopback to install the files directly.
