Why a package management system

No, you are right. Usually in a PMS you just tell the dependencies and the load order is defined by the system based on that description. But I tried to be as
close to the "Installer" script example as possible, so it was intended to
use both interchangable in this context (although there is the noted difference).

No problem. AFAIK posting to the lists are now MIT ;)
