[Pythonmac-SIG] PackMan engine version 0.4

[Jack Jansen]

Folks,
I've started on a new version of pimp, the engine underlying Package 
Manager. The main thing I want to fix is how the default database is 
located: currently the databases are for specific versions of the 
darwin kernel, i.e. OSX 10.3, 10.3.1 and 10.3.2 all get a different 
database. I'm going to put in a fallback scheme where it first tries a 
database for the specific OS version, if that fails it tries a more 
general one, etc. The other thing I want to fix is to differentiate 
between Apple-installed MacPython on Panther and user-installed 
MacPython on Panther (which will use the same database as MacPython on 
Jaguar).

I'm not going to do a complete overhaul of pimp, but if there are 
low-level features you would like to see included: now is the time to 
ask for them and I'll see if I can include them.
