Zero Install is a decentralised installation system. Meta-data about each
package is published in a "feed" file.
Before downloading a package over the internet, 0launch can check to see if any
nearby machines have a copy, and get it from them instead if so. This will
normally be much faster. The secure hash from the feed is used to check that the
software hasn't been modified.
