Possible to package customizations to standard layouts

So with the Winter '07 release it is possible to package custom fields added to the standard objects (like Activity, Contact).  But is it not possible to package changes to the standard Page Layouts? 

So if I add a custom field "cost" to the Activity object, and I  want users of my application to see "cost" when they open an Event from the calendar on the Home tab, is there any way to do that?

If I want to add a custom button to the Contacts Page Layout, can that customization be packaged?

Yes you can now package custom fields on standard objects but they will need to be added to the page layout after the package has been installed into the target org.

Custom buttons can also be packaged but will need to be added to the page layout.
