Excerpts from Dagobert Michelsen's message of Wed Dec 23 09:40:19 -0500 2009:

Ok.  I didn't realize there was that much difference in time
required.  When you count 100+ though, I assume you're counting all
pm_* packages.  This breakage only affects modules that provide .so
files correct?  That would make the number much less, most likely[1].

I'm not advocating either way here, I just thought that GAR was a good
option for this too.

Thanks
