As a side note to using osCommerce, I had to set it up once around a  
dozen times, before you do install you might want to grab a pad and  
go through all the plug ins available for the base install, it does  
not have a defined plug-in architecture, if you download a contrib  
package look at the readme to see what I mean.  Then when you need to  
upgrade your base installation for whatever reason, look out :-)

I would think that even if a framework is overkill its probably worth  
it for that reason alone.
