As I said, this kind of binary packages are not something Linux people
want.

Also, in standard RPM based distro (and most are, except ones which are
Debian based but they have similar packaging philosophy) we have
features which make handling of big number of interdependent packages
easy task. Installation of cvsup on fresh system will pull suplib and
also package(s) with m3core/libm3/set/parseparams/patternmatching
libs... Big number of packages or not, it's something RPM (system) will
do for me.

I have some (RPM spec file) templates developed which enable making
packages which contain interdependent packages and once I get content of
your packages (combined with some free time) I will make spec files with
same content.
