James,

Thanks for the feedback.  I think you may be on to something.  Most
people who aren't familiar with the individual package names are going
to have a really hard time finding a piece of software without seeing
some sort of category separation.  I don't see a reason we shouldn't
automatically help out the user by arranging them in the patterns.

Anyone else care to also jump on this band-wagon? :)
