I'm working on a document to bring all of this together, more or less,
but I wanted to broach the topic of the packaging system since I
believe much of the design for the L.I.P. is predicated upon that, and
not all interested parties heard my presentation.

But the document will be based on the wiki page, my talk, and
discussion here and in email, and I will get it to all of you ASAP :)
