This is what Texerau shows.  He has a good picture of it.  His mirror
support cleats are cut as wedges, so that, they fall away toward the
center of the mirror.  The mirror can only touch them at it's edge.
Other cleats bear on the outer surface to keep the mirror from sliding
around on the edge support cleats and the whole thing is boxed in to
keep the mirror from jumping out.

This wooden box then is surrounded with crushable, more shock absorbing
packing and the whole inside a corrugated cardboard box.
