+  of internal versions from -95 era 
+- audit and clean up user visible strings
+- clean up the build process (auto*-stuff, compiler warnings)
+- refactor those 800+ line monster functions into something more digestable
+- split popt to separate project
+- remove internal file/libmagic?
+- remove internal lua?
+
+API:
+- proper separation of exported and private headers to clean up the API
+- package verification API (instead of just printing out letters)
+- proper package build API (python)
+- proper separation of rpm-cli and lib functionality
+- eliminate need for headerGetEntry() where it makes sense (eg changelogs)
+
