+# notes:  [] = optional , * = 0 or more , + = 1 or more
+#   <feature-name> directory without "feature-" prefix.
+#   [config]       feature configuration directory that contains all configuration
+#                  needed for this features
+#   [config]/<config-file>  preferable named with "feature-<feature-name>" prefix to
+#                  precisely match it against the exact features, source code, and 
+#                  associated wiki page for configuration details.
+#   lib            jar libraries needed by this features
+#   lib/[dependencies]  3rd party jar dependencies not provided by base installation
+#                  of pdp-d that are necessary for <feature-name> to operate
+#                  correctly.
+#   lib/feature    the single feature jar that implements the feature.
+#   [db]           database directory, if the feature contains sql.
+#   [db]/<db-name> database to which underlying sql scripts should be applied against.
+#                  ideally, <db-name> = <feature-name> so it is easily to associate
+#                  the db data with a feature itself.   Ideally, since a feature is

+#                  database ideally isolates all its data.

+#   [db]/<db-name>/sql/<sql-scripts>  for this featuresql scripts
+#                  upgrade scripts should be suffixed with ".upgrade.sql"
+#                  downgrade scripts should be suffixed with ".downgrade.sql"
+#   [install]      custom installation directory where custom enable or disable scripts
+#                  and other free form data is included to be used for the enable and 
+#                  and disable scripts.
+#   [install]/[enable] enable script executed when the enable operation is invoked in
+#                  the feature.
+#   [install]/[disable] disable script executed when the disable operation is invoked in
+#                  the feature.
+#   [install]/[other-directories-or-files] other executables, or data that can be used
+#                  by the feature for any of its operations.   The content is determined
+#                  by the feature designer.
