[Clipart] Update Packages

[Nathan Eady]

Okay, the question was about releasing update packages, with just the
clipart since the last release.  Presumably we would also still need
to release the full releases, so this is just a supplement for users
who already have the previous one, and just want updates.  One imagines
it would contain everything that has changed since last release -- new
images, updated indices, images that have been edited/updated, ...

Of course, if there were an unpackaging tool familiar with the
particulars of the package format, it could handle that, but I
think for the moment we have to assume such a thing is future;
right now, I think anything we release needs to be usable as
it stands.  So, how would the user go about merging the updates?

Let's go ahead and *start* the discussion, and if people are busy,
it can just take weeks or months to discuss :-)
