Hmm, suddenly I'm a little more interested. I've been giving this 
package management strategy some though since I've started working with 
a bunch of Mac users. I would guess this probably turns into extra disk 
space usage, but considering the sizes of HD these days, trading out 
dependency hell might not be so bad.

Thoughts?
