interix/debian port repository
so i have a interix/debian subsystem running on win 7 ultimate 32bit.. basicly just built it because i do a lot of jailbroken iphone stuff and its debian and im comfortable with the apt packaging system. so my thought is how can i take the complete tool bundle and break it down into individual packages?? i want to eliminate the pkg_ and use apt/dpkg but i need to rebuild the interix version cuz some of the debian packages do not work right... its a new idea and i havent really got started on it yet..

RE: interix/debian port repository
The bundles are self-extracting executable files.
There's an executable header that gets run and then following this are the
packages. When run the packages are placed in a temporary working directory.
If you run a bundle from a shell you can give it options that will tell it to not
remove the working directory when done and/or to not start an installation plus
several other things. The easiest to remember is '-h' which will print a list of
available options plus a short description.
For your purposes you are interested in '-k' (keep) and '-s' (stop after extracting).
