The .pkg files can be created with the PackageMaker application you'll find
in /Developer/Applications.
I'm not sure I've understood what you plan on including in the package; the
whole sources cvs snapshot or just the binary/headers/programs/docs?

BTW I think when we'll be at WIP time it'd be nice to have a package holding
the precompiled framework only, like the Win32 DLL zips.
