As far as packaging stuff up look at fgb's contrib system, bootstratp your self into the delightful world of 3rd party packages by typing:
9fs sources
/n/sources/contrib/fgb/root/rc/bin/contrib/install fgb/contrib
contrib/gui
man contrib will tell you about the tools and how to create
packages of your own.
I have a text contrib package on there but I will remove it when you
have your updated release working.
