Is it already implemented? Because I found this document:

http://www.erlang.se/publications/packages.html

Anyway, I was unable to get it to work according to this info.

Cheers, Anthony

Don't EVER make the mistake that you can design something better than
what you get from ruthless massively parallel trial-and-error with a
feedback cycle. That's giving your intelligence _much_ too much
credit.
