   * Improve the .info format further
 E.g. it would be nice if one could annotate the dependency fields 
with comments. This would allow adding an explanation
 to every dependency, where it comes from. That should be quite 
easy to code, actually. 
 
It actually wouldn't take any coding at all, since I think it's already done.

    * PkgVersion.pm: Add convenience method to get just one PkgVersion from
    a .info file. 
    * PkgVersion.pm, Validation.pm, FinkVersion.pm.in: Info3 enhancements
    for pkglist fields:
        - Normalize whitespace
        - Allow comments (# to end of line)
        - Remove trailing comma

 * Add launchd support? Alternatively, improve deamonic to support launchd (I 
 don't know what our status in this regard is, actually)
 
Minimal.  dbus uses it, but there's not a standard frameork to do so.

Daniel Johnson looked at daemondo, but I don't know how far that has
progressed.

 * Port Fink to use aptitude ? (might be too big, and maybe not what we want)

We had aptitude for a while.  It broke on 10.4.
