BTW, Phil, are there any established guidelines/conventions for the "TX"
packages other than "start your project name with a 'tx'"?

Any suggestions or guidelines on how such packages should leverage
setuptools, stuff like that?

I think it would be very useful to have all of these packages install in a
similar fashion, though of course, it wouldn't be practical (or advisable)
to try and enforce this in any way.  But I do think it would be good to have
a set of guidelines posted someplace saying "here is the recommended way to
set up a TX package".
