+PACKAGES
+
+ This directory and all its subdirectories are for special package
+information, template, scripts and docs. The files herein should be of use for
+those of you who want to package curl in a binary or source format using one
+of those custom formats.
+
+ The hierarchy for these directories is something like this:
+
+ packages/[OS]/[FORMAT]/
+
+ Currently, we have Win32 and Linux for [OS]. There might be different formats
+for the same OS so for Linux we have RPM as format.
+
+ We might need to add some differentiation for CPU as well, as there is
+Linux-RPMs for several CPUs. However, it might not be necessary since the
+packaging should be pretty much the same no matter what CPU that is used.
+
+ For each unique OS-FORMAT pair, there's a directory to "fill"! I'd like to
+see a single README with as much details as possible, and then I'd like some
+template files for the package process.
