Neat package manager...

[Jerry McBride]

I just stumbled across this package manager named ENCAP. The URL is at the end
of this text.

Basically it arranges packages in a manner different than I've seen before. Each
package resides in its' own directory. All packages are at the end of
/usr/local/encap/ and all required package resources are made available via
links. What you end up with is a bunch of links in say, /bin, /sbin, /lib, etc.

An interesting idea, worth looking into. Frankly, I like it better than
sprinkling bins,libs and mans all over the directory tree...
