Option 4 would be nice, however the 3rd party command line is more complex than I want to expose to most of the end users otherwise they can fubar their setup. Thus I had the brilliant (perhaps not so) idea of creating a m2 plugin that would reduce down the complexity such that is cleaner and simpler to use. Otherwise option 4 would definitely be what I would use.
