I'll read the proposal. I wonder how it is possible to layout a source
tarball with hints to the OS packager on how to do the right thing.

for tagging a directory in a source tarball as 'doc' in a language
agnostic and OS agnostic way.

Does anyone know if the good people form Perl and Ruby have came up
with a good solution?
