+
+   System - Abstraction for running on different systems.
+   
+   Instances of this class can be thought of as factories or meta-classes
+   for a variety of more specialized classes. Together this class and 
+   it's specialized offspring completely define the environment and how
+   to access resources for a specific system. There are several sub
+   areas that are all orthogonal - each system has a unique combination of
+   these sub areas:
+       - Versioning. Different systems have different ideas on versions.
+         Within a system all sub classes must follow the same versioning 
+         rules.
+       - Local tool locking to prevent multiple tools from accessing the
+         same database.
+       - Candidate Version selection policy - this is probably almost always
+         managed using a standard APT class
+       - Actual Package installation 
+         * Indication of what kind of binary formats are supported
+       - Selection of local 'status' indexes that make up the pkgCache.
+      
+   It is important to note that the handling of index files is not a 
+   function of the system. Index files are handled through a separate
+   abstraction - the only requirement is that the index files have the
+   same idea of versioning as the target system.
+   
+   Upon startup each supported system instantiates an instance of the
+   pkgSystem class (using a global constructor) which will make itself
+   available to the main APT init routine. That routine will select the
+   proper system and make it the global default.
