I'm not sure which is small, but I think it is easy to write a simple 
installer which installs PUPA onto a disk, like grub-install in GRUB. 
It may be a shell script (mostly just a list of commands) as I did in 
grub-install.

Another possibility would be a filesystem. I don't think it is so easy 
to add a new filesystem, but you can refer to another implementation, 
like GRUB, Linux, and FreeBSD. Currently, PUPA only supports FAT and 
ext2, so it is very useful for you to add, say, Reiserfs or whatever 
else.

If you think these are too difficult, I can suggest other possibilities.
