Since apt-get and dpkg are written in C, I think we can probably integrate through 
that API... I think there might even be some libraries that we can link against to get 
the functionality we need. Perhaps just a generic frontend to dpkg for OS X/Cocoa is 
in order, I'm pretty sure that there are ones in GTK/whatever for Linux that we could 
use as a starting point or something.
