It should be apple doing this, but I'll take google, if that's all there is. Macports, fink, brew -- these are all interesting, and those who work on them are generous and to be admired. However, none of these is perfect, and fragmentation across several halfway-sufficient schemes is not helpful. The largeness of what one might assume will be the google project will, it can only be hoped, lead to some coalescence of effort. How nice it would be to do the equivalent of apt-get to install something, with reasonable confidence, or hope, that it won't break something else.
