A bit more verbose: We have

- Messages associated with patches. Those messages are part of the patch 
metadata. Shown at the beginning of commit via a callback. The callback 
returning FALSE will abort commit.

- Messages and Scripts which can be installed by any package. After commit
all newly installed scripts are executed (available in code 11). All newly 
installed messages will be shown via a callback, similar to patch messages
(to be implented).

Depending on the mode (interactive/non-interactive) you can use different 
callback recipients, which either show and/or collect the messages.


AFAIK not yet defined is the format of the packages message file. By now we'd 
assume it's plain (utf8)text. But we probably could define some magic, that 
allows to ship translated texts as well.
