This is David Forsyth's GSoC project to build a standard library
for managing the on-disk package database.

His pkg_info implementation built on this library is in fact
a lot faster than what's currently in the tree.  He's starting
to prototype pkg_delete and pkg_add on the new library
but there's still a lot of work to do.
