I totally forgot one of my key points.  Need more caffiene.  :-)

A lot of this is moot until we have OSCAR installed into /opt/oscar-X.Y.

So I think we should concentrate on RPM-izing the OSCAR glue and
re-working the "make dist" mechanism to build the three different
tarballs:

1. glue RPM (including opd) + top-level script to install it and invoke
   "oscar"
2. all of #1 + core code and/or packages
3. all of #2 + some set of included packages

(Actually, I think we need "regular", "extra crispy" and "secret sauce"
versions of #3, but that's just semantics)

I'm not worried about RPM-izing the glue and then having to re-work it
when we do the metamenu stuff, because that's essentially just changing
the MANIFEST list (or equivalent file contents listing) -- I don't think
it will be a big deal.  I'd rather get it RPM-ized now, and change the
contents when we switch to metamenu.
