I was thinking a similar idea for a new native package format (really
just a zip file with a special meta file inside, like Java jars.) So
maybe this could be the beginnings of that.

Of course the tool for "installing" the packages would need to be
inside Haiku, not in the build system. But that is something I could
work on.
