Having an ancient package tool is something to be proud of. If it's done
right first time, why change it? And tgz will work on any unix, wheras
rpm or deb will work on those flavors only. Such fragmentation of the
origional unix systems into incompatible subsets let Microsoft into the
market in the first place.
