=head1 INCLUDED APPLICATIONS AND EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

Although the distribution primarily supports the deployment
of an application whose files are included in the distribution,
it also supports deployment of applications which are not
included or are not on CPAN at all.

Anyone who finds a useful perl application somewhere 
(i.e. "Foo") can write a small perl distribution called
App-Build-Foo and upload it to CPAN.
When someone uses the CPAN shell, they can install the
application simply by typing

 install App::Build::Foo

Within the App-Build-Foo distribution would be a module,
App::Build::Foo, which would be a subclass of App::Build.
It would contain any specific logic necessary to download
and install the Foo application.
