Crumbs. What is "a library"? Previously I'd understood that a package
*was* a library. I think you are saying that
Shipments contain N packages
Packages contain N executables and M libraries
Libraries contain N modules
Do we really need FOUR levels? (Shipments, packages, libraries,
modules)
Joe is getting worried.
