I see. I didn't know matlab had such a functionality. The package 
structure offers the same, but only per package. So if a toolbox 
consists of several packages, there would be a need for a
toolbox -> package1, ..., packageN
relationship.

So the question is, to which extend should packages and toolboxes 
differ? Do we need toolboxes if we have packages?
