I don't agree that RPM is useless on non-linux boxes. RPM runs on all Unix boxes and even in cygwin. Even when you're not using RPM as a package manager, you can still use RPM SPEC files (or source packages) to build binaries for a specific platform. I agree with you that it probably isn't the best solution for Windows though. My interest is more in the general case.
