More documentation is placed in the docs/ directory:

• showcase
• hacking on msu

principles:

1. Little added complexity. msu should not warrant the user to learn scripting all over again. An existing script should be converted into a module with less effort.
2. Minimal. msu core should be as little as possible. How? Use common algorithms and data structures. Avoid doing something too fancy.
3. Highly configurable. Using environment variables and command-line switches, msu should be configurable in all its operations, including installation.
