 */

This tells ReaPack to install ixix-functions.jsfx-inc from the same directory as the current file, background.png from the "YourPackage Data" subfolder and some_file_that_is_not_in_the_repository.pdf from an external URL. ixix-functions-win32.jsfx-inc is only installed on computers running Windows.

There are two limitations on this:

1. Only one package can claim a specific file at a time (meaning that sharing files between packages sucks at this time and I have yet to find a good solution. Suggestions appreciated)
2. Files cannot be installed outside of the repository's root directory

Nice. Great work.

Regarding limitation 2, does that mean that I'd need to set my repo root as "[AppData]/REAPER" in order to install files to both "[AppData]REAPER/Effects/IX/" and "[AppData]REAPER/Data/IX" ?

Limitation 1 sucks hard but I don't know enough about this stuff to suggest any solutions.

Yes but that's the situation we have to deal with. As Tale pointed out, just renaming the plugins isn't a very good option, so it would be much better if the awkward extentionless files could be handled.
