My feeling is that it is a crate, since that's the name we've
historically used. There's already been agreement to remove
"extern mod" in favor of "crate".
IMO, "package" is used in several languages, maybe it's much familiar
and friendly to rust newbies:
```
package newpkg; // pkgid is "newpkg", compile to dynamic library (.so)
package main; // pkgid "main" means compile to executable program
(.exe)
static package newpkg; // pkgid is "newpkg", compile to static library
extern package newpkg; // or …
extern package newpkg =
"http://github.com/liigo/rust-newpkg#newpkg:1.0";;
```
But I'm OK if "crate" is used here.
Liigo, 2013-12-17.
