I was unable to locate maintainer documentation on the 
schema of the PackageManager database ( http://
python.org/packman/version-0.3/darwin-6.6-
Power_Macintosh.plist ).

I was also unable to locate documentation for how a 
maintainer would build one of these databases (particularly 
for binary packages).

However, I was able to reverse engineer it by looking at the 
Package Manager/PIMP sourcecode, and I've prototyped an 
example script for building a binary package and spitting out 
a template for its entry in the plist.  It's attached.

Closed as "Won't Fix" because PackageManager was dropped in 2.5.
