Thanks for the hint. I like this idea and also did the same
when I created solaris-maven-plugin.

But I also love the idea of having one plugin for different binary formats.
Then you can build deb,rpm,... from the same config and an added feature
may help for all formats.
In pkg-maven-plugin I also went the "let existing plugins do the major work
and just focus on packaging" way but added a plugin concept into the
maven-plugin so formats can be easily added even by thirdparty coders without
touching the plugin. That was my vision and I had just started a minimum 
codebase.
Now I found unix-maven-plugin and I definitely want to give it a try
in getting together with Trygve so we put our ideas and energy together.

I think cbuilds also has a different scope and philosophy.
My impression is that it could be really useful if we bring
our ideas together rather than building all our own nice plugins.
We will see what happens - it might work out or not.
So far I am happy to chat with all of you and willing to participate
on unix-maven-plugin. Trygve has already solved a lot of problems
that I do NOT want to solve again.
As its version-number does not sound very mature
there might be chances to change some things or to come to the point
that it is just good the way it is.
