[RFC] sysprofile-0.0.9

[Paul Seelig <pseelig@mail.Uni-Mainz.de>]

No, i know that i'm no genius when it comes up to implementing such
kinds of mechanisms and that this still lacks good documentation.
But maybe at least the fundamental idea is not sooo bad... ;-)

This is a purely experimental package and i'd like to attract some
constructive critizism and possibly enhancements.  I'll make an upload
to master when i've cleaned up the beast a bit, because in it's
current state it installs quite some configuration scripts not
everybody would be really happy with.  My main interest is to improve
and simplify the underlying mechanism.

            Thanks for testing and feedback, P. *8^)
