+
+ 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 speciallized 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 seperate
+ 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.
