How does what you're working on compare to apt?

Jonathan, I hope your Midi-chlorians are tingling because I could sure
use your TCL expertise in the form of pull-requests! :D

I'll have a look when I finish the nw.js port. But my gut reaction is
that this is _way_ outside of my abilities to develop.
IOhannes' original suggestion (or maybe question) about just porting
apt to the relevant OSes is probably less work than doing packaging
from scratch in a sane and secure way. But I also think releasing
a monolithic distro is way less work than either.

PS Lol: "Back in the 1980s, Yosemite National Park was having a serious
problem with bears: They would wander into campgrounds and break into
the garbage bins. This put both bears and people at risk. So the Park
Service started installing armored garbage cans that were tricky to open
-- you had to swing a latch, align two bits of handle, that sort of
thing. But it turns out it's actually quite tricky to get the design of
these cans just right. Make it too complex and people can't get them
open to put away their garbage in the first place. Said one park ranger,
'There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest
bears and the dumbest tourists.'"
