Description:

Represents packageID's.
Knows the relationship between modules and directories in the package-organization.

Class protocol:

 noProjectID

return the symbol used to tag classes and methods which are loose.
This means: not yet assigned to a particular project.

 from: aStringOrSymbol

 module: moduleString directory: directoryString

Instance protocol:

 module: moduleString directory: directoryString

 packageIdString: something

 string

 = aPackageId

compares equal to a corresponding string

 hash

 asPackageId

 asString

 asSymbol

 printOn: aStream

 directory

return the directory component. Thats the rest after the colon.
The module is typically used to define the project-path or project-id within its
sourcecode repository (which is selected via the module).

 isModuleId

true if this is a module-id only (i.e. no directory component present).
These are not allowed to be used as real projects, but only for organization.
The reason is that this is used as selector to select the sourceCodeManager and
also the managers repository

 libraryName

return the name of the library, when compiled to a binary (i.e. dll/so).
To avoid conflicts with the projectDefinition class
(which is named <module>_<directory_components>), we prefix the library name
with 'lib'. This has the added advantage, that under unix, linking can be done with
'-l'shortName.

 module

return the module component. Thats the first component up to the colon.
The module is typically used to select a corresponding sourcecode repository.
