inetpkg

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:
* Distro-agnostic and universal
* Functional on even the most minimal GNU/Linux distributions
* Supplement to rather than complement to or replacement of existing package managers
* Stupid-simple
* Functional without support from the distribution, but better, through tie-in, if supported
* User-private package installation, only
* Usable by even the most foolish user
