The data/ directory in the tarball isn't sticky.

You have no package/install script.  (I know, I'm guilty of this too
in my latest versions.  The new mkmed fixes this and is almost ready,
if you're interested in using it.)

You have no package/sharing file.  (mkmed could generate one for you.)

The instructions mention editing files in compile-conf/, but that
directory does not exist.  It would be best if we could run
package/compile without editing any files to build with default
options.

My packages currently put compile-time configuration files in
preconf/.  It would nice to have consensus here.  What do people think
the name should be?

How should configuration files affect sharability?  I think
compile-time configuration should be "dist" (or maybe "syst"?) and
run-time configuration should be "host".
