Agreed. QNX is quirky as, and Software Valet blows.
Omicronsoft's EasyInstallerCreator program installs an uninstaller which
wasn't the best method but it got the job done.
However, some sort of repository would be nice.

SoftwareValet just plain sucks. That's one thing which should NOT be reproduced. Perhaps a conversion tool to convert SV packages to a better format would be nescessary, but again SV sucks!
As much as I hate to say this, but I'd recommend RPM. RPM is GPL'ed so, there is no problem with getting source etc., and lots of people use it. I'm just don't seem to recall if it has been ported or not, or if it "suffered" from mmap problems.
If not RPM, then there are large number of other systems out there on freshmeat.net.
