Comment (by jhpalmieri):
Here are descriptions of the current optional packages, except that I
don't actually know what "database_symbolic_data" is. I was able to do a
number of them in a single line; is that helpful? Also, how do we
actually incorporate these? (Should each description be added, somehow,
to the SPKG.txt file for each package?)
