agreed; the Package classes in libplasma were meant to be used with HotNewStuff 
and may even end up migrating over to that library for 4.2.

it has proven powerful enough to use with wallpapers, themes, various forms of 
plasma widgets, superkaramba, mac os widgets and google gadgets. it's probably 
not 100% perfect, but it's a decent base to start from imho. we also tried to 
use existing facilities as much as possible, such as keeping compatible with 
KPluginInfo...
