I was trying to get at this with my comment about actual factories.  
The more I think about it the more I think that there's not a lot of  
code here that isn't config or setup specific, and that sort of code  
belongs in core, or in the codebase of other projects using the libs.

I'm definitely open to counter-examples, but if there are, I'd like to  
see them become actual Package_Factory classes, not ::factory() or  
::singleton() methods.
