Update section 11.1 to advise attaching new packages as uuencoded tar
archives for better tracking and archiving:
11.1 Submitting your packages
=============================
...
* packages:
First, check that your package is complete, compiles and runs well; see
section 9 and the rest of this document. Next, generate an uuencoded
gzipped tar(1) archive, preferably with all files in a single directory.
Finally, send-pr(1) with category "pkg", a synopsis which includes the
package name and version number, a short description of your package
(contents of the COMMENT variable or DESCR file are OK) and attach the
archive to your PR.
If you want to submit several packages, please send a separate PR for
each one, it's easier for us to track things that way.
