Well, I did NOT understand it. Re-reading the emails I realized that the
idea is to distribute one tarball or jar file or something, with N binaries
for N platforms in it. The host will use a manifest to identify and load the
required binary. Is that correct? If so, then of course it makes sense to
have 1 copy of the metadata in the archive along with the N binaries.
But then, who's going to want 3 or 6 copies of the program text for N
platforms when they are only ever going to use 1? Still, it's an interesting
idea.
