I will modify vbuild and vunify (and vfiles) so they use an external command.
Currently, they are using rpm and retrieve from it. The external command
will provide a simpler format and anyone will be able to provide a replacement
for his distribution.
the format will be something like
#package version
-a file suitable for unification
-another file
#another package
-files
-...
All the utilities will use that. I will do a prototype.
