Thank you to both Matthew and Arthur for your excellent overview 
descriptions. I would have rather liked to read them about a year ago, 
before I embarked upon a poudriere project which is now in the process 
of being abandoned due to a changing awareness of what's both possible 
and a good idea, and our requirements.

Is this information published somewhere? Clearly I didn't come across it 
in my searching and reading about poudriere, ports, packages, and 
general system design decisions. Could it go in the handbook somewhere? 
That is a high quality set of pages, and I think this material would 
only add to that.

Cheers,
Greg.
