PkgBuilder 96.01.21

- creates Installer packages from package description files.

	Package description files can be displayed and edited
	using PkgBuilder, but they could also be generated by
	substituting a simple script for the install command
	in conventional makefiles.

	PkgBuilder uses a shell script in its application
	folder to build a package from the description file,
	i.e., once the description exists, the package can
	easily be built from a makefile as well. The script
	runs synchronously and writes error messages to stderr.

- makes putting the contents of a package together quite a drag.

- supports most package variations with the exception of chunked
	packages DeleteWarning, FtpSite (remote packages), and
	UseUserMask. Always uses bigtar.
