Ah yes, a directory might be the better idea.
I don't actually insist, but the file idea isn't really bad, is it? It
has the merit that you get an extension to rebaseall for free if it
suddenly makes sense, without having to create a new rebase package.
You don't know the hype script language of 2015 yet :)
Also the directory might be a good idea for users creating their own
DLLs.
