Project Summary
What inetpkg is not:
* A package manager or replacement
* Something I propose we use
What inetpkg is:
* A specification for distro-agnostic packages
* An augmentation to existing package managers
* Usable without a package manager
* A draft proposal to how we should solve the problem of "distributing end-user applications"
* Dependant only on software everyone already have installed
Goals:

* User-private package installation, only
* Usable by even the most foolish user
