A Waba app like this might be particularly useful as NPDS works its way
towards version 3; a simple way to package binaries for use on the
Newton, either being served as graphics, or as downloads. Paul Guyot
has an NPDS component to get binaries on the Newton, but you have to
recompile in NTK for each different binary you want on the Newton.
Something very simple and flexible for bundling binaries might prove
useful on many fronts.
