Right now people are using phpcodesniffer-composer-installer to automagically register standards .

Could this be integrated to CodeSniffer? would be really helpful thing to have

The installer is based on a directory layout as found for a Composer installation, while PHPCS supports installation via PEAR, as a PHAR file, via Phive, via Composer, as a git clone etc.

While for a Composer install, the location to find standards is relatively predictable - vendor or a custom install directory -, this is not the case when PHPCS is installed via any of the other supported methods.

How do you envision PHPCS could do this ?
