The image question

[Salvatore Domenick Desiano]

I have been using them, particularly for installing and uninstalling 
debug versions of libraries I use for my research, but I only use images 
because that's how activation is implemented. I wouldn't argue if the 
equivalent functionality was done with tarballs (and, it might take less 
disk space).
