How to automatically install default WordPress plugins?

I recently started using the Plugin Central plugin for this and it works like a charm. I just install Plugin Central with every initial WP install, keep a text file where all of the direct links to my favorite plugin zip downloads are listed, and paste these links into Plugin Central. My 16 favorite plugins are then downloaded and activated within seconds:
