Yep - see subsequent message.

I would imagine so, but ultimately it will produce a file, and sooner or 
later it'll be useful for us to be able to make those files ourselves.

If the SB has an API for that, perhaps the dependency on the IDE 
wouldn't be the end of the world.

But I can imagine value in being able to use a good packaging model for 
all sorts of things, like delivering updates to users of my workgoup 
tools.  There are probably a dozen use cases I haven't thought of that 
others are likely to come up with shortly after a good package format 
becomes available.

If the packager is a library and the packages are encoded arrays, all 
sorts of things become very possible very easily.
