Agreed. And I like the idea of having $RecipeInfo information, because, once it's more widespread, it can be a convenient way for a recipe to check whether another recipe is installed -- which could then mean that one could make recipes which take advantage of features of other recipes in a more graceful manner. That is, if RecipeB could check for the existance of RecipeA, then it could have optional features which use RecipeA, which will automatically be turned off if RecipeA isn't there, rather than breaking if RecipeA isn't there.
