OK.  How do you drive it?  What do you need (other than Python) to use
it?  There's an internal reference to krepdump.ko but I can't quickly
find that.

The other thing that the ports infrastructure gives me is a record of
what version(s) of what software I have installed and what other software
requires or is required by that software.  This means that I can go to
a random port, type "make install" and have the system automagically
install any dependencies.

Your tarball doesn't tell me what other tools I need to install to make
the contents of your tarball do something.  Hopefully, a port would.
