Well, so far I was under the impression that Dan Bernstein did not even
approve of installer packages.

I don't think so... As nice as it could be, the rules set by Dan are
incompatible with the SME user's demands from what I think they are,
and who would be my target audience for this kind of thing.

I'd rather not infringe on his conditions, although (at some other
occation?) someone told me that the expiry dates on some related
packages are not to be taken too seriously... reminds me of taking a
closer look at 'runit'...
