jpkg should take list of boxed addon names as right argument so the
following should install any packages that aren't installed
'install' jpkg {."1 'shownotinstalled' jpkg ''
However jpkg has had a number of improvements that haven't been
documented on the wiki page. One of these is that if the right
argument of jpkg is a boxed table then the addon names are expected to
be in the first column. IOW the following should now work.
'install' jpkg 'shownotinstalled' jpkg ''
Another feature is that 'all' is recognized as having "special"
meaning. So the following should install all addons:
'install' jpkg 'all'
Note that as Micheal has suggested the JAL mechanism for releasing
addons only for supported platforms is not very reliable, especially
for the android.
