What about Quicktime plugins? Does it manage that?
That's the first thing that needs to be sorted out with a proper package
manager. The fact that you can install "alien platform" software on a Mac with
a 3rd party package manager is not really that compelling.
Package manager are a lot less compelling for self-contained products and
tend to be much more useful for things that come with a lot of dependencies to
sort out. That very issue is why I started using package managers myself.
I found that sorting out all of the bits and bobs for early GNUstep and
KDE builds were starting to be too much of a bother.
