It's not a package on it's own. It's in the iproute2 package, for more
information see the following man pages: tc(8), tc-cbq(8), tc-htb(8),
tc-sfq(8), tc-red(8), tc-tbf(8), tc-pfifo(8), tc-bfifo(8),
tc-pfifo_fast(8), tc-filters(8)

I've never used shapecfg, but I can assume that it's only a utility
for setting up CBQ-based traffic shaping... cbq.init and htb.init will
do the same...

Save the butchery for later, goto
http://sourceforge.net/projects/htbinit/
http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/ (very technical, but intersting)
http://lartc.org/howto (a definite must!!!)

Always a pleasure to help some bandwidth get into shape
