I just sent Jim my initial test results. All seems fine with the fixed
pkgtool, and I tried to throw some truly goofy package descriptions at it.

I really wish this speed-enhanced version of pkgtool could be included in
10.1. It's a great improvement. On the other hand, I guess it's a good
thing that problems surfaced prior to 10.1's release (though my problems
with the pre-fix version went away after I standardized my package
descriptions -- plus, I feel better about myself all around now that I'm a
keen slacker and not a slack slacker.
