Sweeeet, that should help a lot.  

I count 50+ ports there...I don't know that _that_ much granularity is needed 
(no offense to Dirk).  But maybe that's the easiest way to do it once you start 
splitting it out.  I'd like to go a bit simpler, something like: framework 
(etoile-core?), apps that could stand alone without Etoile (perhaps e.g. 
azalea, azdock, melodie, iterm, mollusk, stepchat, babbler, typewriter), helper 
apps that only make sense within Etoile (etoile-applets? etoile-tools?), and 
the meta.  So about 10 packages instead of 50.

Of course, the question is whether or not I'm correct in presuming some of the 
apps can stand apart from Etoile, and determining which those are.


Thanks,
Tim
