The answer to your question (and a complete manual) is here: 
http://wpkg.org/TODO_list#Documentation
Oh, wait, it's still on a TO DO list? Right. It doesn't exist.
Yes, it's weak point.

If you (or someone else) want to help here, we'd be glad to see a 
complete manual. But no one is really counting on it.

What could be a good start are just 10-15 points/topics suggestions for 
such a manual. Then, they could be expanded and described with more 
detail. Does it sound fair?

Yes, they are example files.

You should replace them with your own.

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask, but try to avoid 
putting several unrelated questions in one post ("another question is...").
Also, a more meaningful subject is always helpful.
