-* Classification scheme for packages
-
-- many packages fall under several categories; what matters is the
-  *primary* purpose of a package.  For example, the libxml2 package
-  builds both a library and some tools; but it's a library foremost,
-  so it goes under ./development/libraries. 
-
-- when in doubt, refactor.
