+
+We need a mechanism for attaching external resources to a program and
+to be able to refer to them.  External resources refer to things like:
+
+   Images
+   HTML files
+   Sounds
+
+Each of these should be findable by path, and they should also be
+packaged when a program is built.  The user should be able to say
+something like this:
+
+    (define my-html-file (local-resource-path ...))
+
+and the packager should automatically be able to statically walk
+though all local-resource-path calls.
+
+
+    These files must be represented as separate files.
+
+
+There may be additional resources that need to be included, though
+they aren't directly used in the program.  (Say, for example, an image
+is refered to in an html resource.  Maybe we should have a toplevel
+element (include-resources ...) that take in a bunch of
+build-resource-path.
+
+   (include-resources (build-resource-path ...)
+                      ...)
+
+
+
+The Whalesong make system needs to know how to deal with resources.
+
+
+I also want to be able to refer to external web resources, and somehow
+capture or cache them during building.
+
+
+
+Imaginary: I would like to be able to write something like this:
+
+    (define my-file (remote-resource-path ...))
+
+and be able to treat my-file as if it were a local resource.  During
+packaging, the file should be directly downloaded.
+
+
+Other things to consider:
+
+    We may need to consider workarounds for same-origin policy
+restrictions.
+
+    Can resources be input-port sources?
