I'm not sure if you got my point or not but if you don't develop an
installer which deals with categories and dependencies, then I don't see
how it could be considered a replacement for setup.exe.  If you do this,
then you don't need to list all of the packages in "Base".  You just
need to know that there is a "Base" and deal with that.
