Synopsis: New (?) package management utilities

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: sheldonh
State-Changed-When: Fri Jul 21 02:18:54 PDT 2000
State-Changed-Why: 
What's really needed is for the _existing_ package management
tools to be extended as required.  Providing a pantheon of
management utilities, each of which duplicates in some way
the functionality of at least one other, is not the way to go.

However, if you're not up to that task but still think your
suite of scripts is useful, you should probably submit them
as a port.  Please see:
