If you're speaking of the Foo.pkg file packages, then you should read
the release notes for the Installer application.  Fire up DL, and look
for "Installer" in the NextDev or ReleaseNotes targe.  Installer.app
comes with a tool to build your own packages, as I did for the SLIP
code that I ported.  The documentation also describes the format of
the package, so if the tool they supply is inadaquate, you could build
your own.
