This is in the document that Carnë compiled long ago. We did a heavy
clean up on pkg and make it more extensible. I am not sure what happen
to all those changes, since I had to break off from the community for
the span of 4 months.

Also, I am not an user of io, I was just checking the installation of
all the packages to search for errors and I found this one, but since
I wasn't able to find it in savannah I asked the mailing list.

@Carnë: what is the current status of the pkg branch?
