Wait.  Before you rewrite it, take a look at the work that was done on 
package.rb by Mauricio Fernandez and Chris Neukirchen.  They haven't worked 
on it since late last year, but even as is, it is a very capable system.  I 
only have one released package, at the moment, that uses it, but I have 
several more in various states of progress towards new releases, and they all 
use it.  It works well, is flexible, and is terribly simple to use.  And it 
can be used in a way that is compatible with existing setup.rb uses.

The URL that I have for it is:
