Yes exactly, I totally understand it's independence from pkg_install, 
that is why we are evaluating it. What I meant to say, is the state of 
libh (and it's scripts) at a point where it can demonstrate "package 
management" functionality , as opposed to just the UI elements...

as you said in the earlier email of packagetool.tcl script being 
out-dated(broken),
is that what is (soley) needed to test the packaging features?

(sorry in advance if i'm totally missing a piece from the big picture)

thanx
