Understood.  I still don't like the name, but I can live with it ;)

I think there's too much stuff in there that has nothing to do with
rpm-ness.  And there's rpm-ness that is not necessarily specific to
linux-ness (although for all practical purpose I doubt there will ever
be a significant need to support rpm on a non-linux platform, so that's
a minor quibble).
