just one comment. Make 'url field more general. We currently have 'Needs field,
which can contain block of needed components, so:
If creating script=module, we could use even 'Needs, e.g. Needs: [Core 2.2 View
1.0 ODBC 1.0 rebol://www.rebol.com/module http://www.rebol.com/some-script.com]
or just what if your module needs to be linked into two another modules? Then
your 'url field should accept also block of urls ....
Do you disagree? :-))

IIRC someone mentioned it already, but any results so far probably ...
